The bill amends section 6452 of the Revised Judicature Act of 1961, establishing that any claim against the state that is cognizable by the court of claims must be filed within three years after the claim first accrues. The bill clarifies that the attorney general has the authority to petition for the appointment of a personal representative for deceased estates and to petition for a guardian for minors or individuals under disability. Additionally, it specifies that the limitations set forth in this section do not apply to claims for compensation under the wrongful imprisonment compensation act or claims to which section 5851b applies.

Furthermore, the bill includes a retroactive application clause for actions pending on its effective date and those brought under section 5851b(4) of the Revised Judicature Act. It also stipulates that the bill will not take effect unless certain other bills from the 103rd Legislature are enacted into law.
