Relates to permitting amendment of a claim or notice of intention to file a claim to correct jurisdictional pleading defects

Summary

The bill amends the Court of Claims Act so a claimant can correct missing or incorrect information in a claim or notice of intention to file a claim without needing a judge’s leave, as long as they do so within prescribed time frames. It also requires that defenses based on these technical pleading defects be waived unless raised in a timely motion or pleading. The change aims to give claimants a better chance to pursue valid claims against the state while protecting the state from undue prejudice.
