The resolution, Substitute House Joint Resolution No. 86, addresses the claim made by Melissa Steinhilper, the Administratrix of the Estate of Amanda Monington, against the state. It vacates the previous decision made by the Claims Commissioner to dismiss this claim and remands it back to the Claims 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 remanding of the claim for a hearing does not incur any financial implications, ensuring that the process can move forward without additional costs to the state or local governments.
