The resolution, Substitute House Joint Resolution No. 87, addresses the claim made by Dwight Otis against the state. It vacates the previous decision made by the Claims Commissioner to dismiss this claim and remands it back to the Commissioner for a hearing on its merits. This action allows for a thorough examination of the claim rather than a dismissal without consideration.

The resolution was reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee and does not have any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities. The decision to remand the claim is intended to ensure that the merits of Otis's claim are properly evaluated.
