RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THE CLAIMS COMMISSIONER'S COMPENSATION AWARD TO LUIS GALARZA WITH RESPECT TO HIS CLAIM AGAINST THE STATE FOR WRONGFUL INCARCERATION.
This Senate Joint Resolution (SJ 6) confirms a $5.94 million compensation award to Luis Galarza for wrongful imprisonment by the state. The resolution formally approves a prior decision by the Claims Commissioner (file #27243), directing payment from the General Fund's adjudicated claims account. It directly affects Luis Galarza, who was wrongfully incarcerated, and serves to finalize the state's obligation to compensate him. The bill does not create new law but ratifies an existing administrative award.
