HJ 86 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

RESOLUTION VACATING THE DECISION OF THE CLAIMS COMMISSIONER TO DISMISS THE CLAIM AGAINST THE STATE OF MELISSA STEINHILPER, ADMINISTRATRIX OF THE ESTATE OF AMANDA MONINGTON AND REMANDING THE CLAIM TO THE CLAIMS COMMISSIONER FOR A HEARING ON THE MERITS.

This resolution cancels a prior dismissal of a claim against the state by the Claims Commissioner and sends the case back for a new hearing on its merits. It specifically affects Melissa Steinhilper, as administrator of Amanda Monington’s estate, who filed the claim. The bill does not create new laws or policies but corrects a procedural step in this individual case. It passed both legislative chambers and is now moving toward final approval.
