The resolution, House Joint Resolution No. 89, grants Caroline Skudlarek, the Executrix of the Estate of Alfons Skudlarek, permission to sue the state of Connecticut for two specific claims of gross negligence that were previously denied by the Claims Commissioner. The General Assembly has vacated the Commissioner's decision and allows the lawsuit to proceed, with the stipulation that the action must be initiated within one year of the resolution's final adoption. The claims involve allegations of personal injury and/or property damage, with the potential damages exceeding $20,000.

Additionally, the resolution confirms the Claims Commissioner's denials of seven other claims against the state, which will not have any fiscal impact. Should the lawsuit result in a payout, it would be drawn from the Comptroller's Adjudicated Claims account, although the total cost to the state remains uncertain due to the unpredictable nature of the lawsuit's outcome. The resolution reflects the General Assembly's decision to allow this specific legal action while maintaining the denials of other claims.
