Plain-language change summary

The amended version of Bill SB 2233 clarifies the notice requirements for individuals bringing claims against the state or state employees for injuries. It maintains the existing deadlines—180 days for general claims and one year for serious injuries—but clearly states that time limits do not apply if the injured person is incapacitated. This change is significant because it aims to ensure that those unable to file a claim due to their injuries are not unfairly penalized, promoting fair access to justice for all claimants.
