SJ 48 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RESOLUTION VACATING THE DECISION OF THE CLAIMS COMMISSIONER TO DENY THE CLAIM AGAINST THE STATE OF MILAGROS POLLOCK HESS, ADMINISTRATRIX OF THE ESTATE OF JHECARI HESS AND GRANTING THE CLAIMANT PERMISSION TO SUE THE STATE.

This bill confirms a previous decision by the Claims Commissioner to deny a financial claim against the state of Milagros Pollock Hess, who is acting as the administrator of the estate of Jhecari Hess. The resolution makes the commissioner's ruling official, preventing the state from being held liable for the disputed claim. It directly affects the estate's representative and the state's financial obligations by upholding the denial of the claim. This is a procedural measure that validates an existing administrative decision rather than creating new policy.
