CT HB07081

Authorizes Millicent Corbett to file a claim against the state with the Claims Commissioner despite missing the statutory filing deadline under General Statutes Section 4-148(a)

Permits the claim to proceed because Corbett filed a civil action in Ansonia-Milford Superior Court in 2012, which provided timely notice to the state within the statute of limitations for property damage allegedly occurring in August 2009

Requires Corbett to present her claim to the Claims Commissioner no later than one year after this act's effective date

Bars the state from using the failure to meet filing deadlines or prior consideration of the claim as defenses in this case

Declares that tolling the time limitations serves a public purpose by encouraging accountable state government and is supported by compelling equitable circumstances
