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 of the claim accruing. It clarifies that the attorney general has the same rights as a creditor to petition for the appointment of a personal representative for a deceased person's estate and for the appointment of a guardian for a minor or disabled individual. Additionally, the bill specifies that certain claims, including those for compensation under the wrongful imprisonment compensation act and those to which section 5851b applies, are exempt from the three-year filing requirement.

The bill also includes a retroactive application clause for actions pending on its effective date and those brought under section 5851b(4). Furthermore, it stipulates that the amendatory act will not take effect unless two other specified bills from the 103rd Legislature are enacted into law.
