AN ACT VALIDATING THE DISPOSITION OF CERTAIN CLAIMS BY THE CLAIMS COMMISSIONER.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. (Effective from passage) Notwithstanding any provision of chapter 53 of the general statutes requiring the Claims Commissioner dispose of any claim (1) within two years after such claim was filed, or (2) prior to the expiration of any extension of time to dispose of such claim stipulated to by the parties to the claim or granted by the General Assembly, any such claim disposed of in accordance with the provisions of section 4-158 of the general statutes, on or after April 4, 2012, but not later than January 1, 2017, shall be deemed to have been so disposed of within the period of time in which the Claims Commissioner is authorized under said chapter 53 to take such action. With respect to any such claim where the Claims Commissioner has authorized a claimant to bring suit against the state and an action has been brought pursuant to such authorization and is pending in the Superior Court on the effective date of this section, such action shall be deemed to be properly within the jurisdiction of the court. With respect to any such claim that is related to an action pending in the Superior Court on the effective date of this section, the Claims Commissioner shall immediately authorize such claimant to bring suit against the state and, upon filing of an action in Superior Court pursuant to such authorization, such action shall be deemed to be properly within the jurisdiction of the court.

Statement of Legislative Commissioners:
In Section 1, "case" was replaced with "action" and "before the Superior Court" was replaced with "pending in the Superior Court" for conformity with the general statutes, and "the claimant for the related claim shall immediately be granted permission to sue the state" was replaced with "the Claims Commissioner shall immediately authorize such claimant to bring suit against the state" for clarity.
