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 has been reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee and is expected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities. The remand to the Claims Commissioner is purely procedural and does not entail any financial implications for the state or local governments.
