The amendment to Senate Bill 2233 clarifies the notice requirements for individuals making claims against the state or state employees following an injury. It maintains the existing timeframes: 180 days for general claims and one year for serious injuries, but specifies that these timeframes do not include periods when the injured person is unable to provide notice due to their condition. This change is important as it ensures that individuals who may be incapacitated due to their injuries are not unfairly penalized for their inability to file claims on time.
