The Senate Joint Resolution No. 78 confirms the Claims Commissioner's decision to award Adam Carmon $7,900,000 in compensation for his wrongful incarceration claim against the state. The resolution, reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee, acknowledges the compensation as a necessary financial remedy for the injustices faced by Carmon during his wrongful imprisonment.

The financial implications of this resolution indicate a one-time expenditure of $7.9 million from the General Fund's Adjudicated Claims account for the fiscal year 2025. There are no anticipated ongoing costs associated with this claim in future years, as it is a singular event related to Carmon's wrongful incarceration.
