JOINT RESOLUTION MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO PAY CERTAIN CLAIMS

This bill authorizes the state to use existing funds to pay specific claims for vehicle damage caused by roadway debris or defects. It allocates a total of $5,151.86 to compensate six individuals who were injured in separate incidents on state roads between 2024 and 2026. The legislation directs the State Controller to draw these payments from the General Treasurer, making the funds available without requiring new budgetary approval. Once passed by the legislature, the resolution becomes effective immediately without needing the governor's signature.
