RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THE CLAIMS COMMISSIONER'S COMPENSATION AWARD TO MARK STUART WITH RESPECT TO HIS CLAIM AGAINST THE STATE FOR WRONGFUL INCARCERATION.

This House Joint Resolution (HJ 3) confirms a $16,500 compensation award to Mark Stuart for wrongful incarceration by the state. It directly affects Mark Stuart, who was awarded this amount by the Claims Commissioner to compensate for his wrongful imprisonment. The resolution formally approves the Claims Commissioner's decision (file #24394) to pay the funds from the General Fund's adjudicated claims account. This is a procedural confirmation of an existing award, not a new policy or law.
