notification of claimant; recommendations
for awards; introduction of bill, referral; determination of amount of award,
guide; claim must be in writing, verified and acknowledged.
The joint committee on special claims against the state shall make
determination
of all claims submitted to it and a copy of its determination
and recommendations shall be submitted to the claimant within 20
days after the joint committee makes its determination. Whenever the joint
committee shall determine that the state should pay any amount to any claimant
it shall recommend that an award be made in the amount so determined. All
recommendations for awards shall be included in a bill or bills which shall
be introduced in the name of the joint committee in either house of the
legislature and referred to the committee on ways and means of
the senate if introduced in the senate or the committee on appropriations
of the house if introduced in the house
of representatives for report and recommendations as on other bills
referred to it. In determining
amounts of awards for claims for injury, death and disability, the joint
committee may use the workmen's compensation act as a guide, where applicable.
No award shall be recommended for payment to any claimant unless the claimant
has submitted a written application therefor which has been verified by
the claimant and acknowledged before a notary public or other officer authorized
by law to administer oaths.
