State property insurance claims exceeding $100,000 require documented damage assessments by state engineers or certified appraisers, review of policy limits, verification of secondary insurance, and procurement of law enforcement reports confirming third-party liability before accepting any settlement.

Proposed settlement agreements must be reported to the state controller for publication at least 14 days before acceptance, and final settlements require written concurrence from the affected agency confirming maximum recovery; disputes go to the State Board of Examiners.

Settlement agreements triggering operational changes (such as property sales or activity relocations) require the affected agency to hold a public hearing and notify the legislature within 7 days of any adopted changes.

Insurance claim investigation reports are exempt from public disclosure until a settlement is reached or the claim is closed, though legislators may review them confidentially during negotiations.

Effective July 1, 2026, under an emergency declaration.
