Summary

The legislation authorizes the Comptroller to resolve claims against individuals or sureties that are in arrears, regardless of how long they have been outstanding, after confirming the state cannot collect through the courts. It allows the Comptroller to reduce principal or interest and requires a record of any settlement that isn’t paid in full. This streamlines recovery of state funds and reduces litigation costs.
