HB 172 amends Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Title 28 to authorize the Claims Advisory Board to recommend to the General Assembly compensation payment for any individual convicted and imprisoned for crimes he or she did not commit. Claims shall be considered if they are filed within three years of July 1, 2019 or within 3 years of the claimant’s eligibility for compensation. Once compensated, a claimant may not bring action involving the same subject matter against the state.
