Summary

The bill establishes a new claims commission that will hear historical abuse and other tort claims filed against the Department of Children, Youth, and Families and its staff. It directs claimants to use this commission instead of regular courts, with limited rights to appeal, in order to curb the growing deficit in the state’s liability insurance fund. The measure affects victims filing claims, the department, and the state’s financial exposure.
