The resolution, Substitute House Joint Resolution No. 87, addresses the claim made by Dwight Otis against the state, which was previously dismissed by the Claims Commissioner. The resolution vacates this dismissal and remands the claim back to the Claims Commissioner for a hearing on its merits, allowing for a thorough examination of the case.

The Judiciary Committee reported favorably on this resolution, with a unanimous vote of 39 in favor and none against. Importantly, the resolution is noted to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as it simply facilitates the process for the claim to be heard without incurring additional costs.
