HJR1259 - Tennessee - General Assembly, Statement Of Intent Or Position

General Assembly, Statement of Intent or Position - Urges the board of claims to increase the compensation of Clark McMillan, who was wrongly incarcerated for 22 years. -

Other Fiscal Impact - If the specified individuals are enrolled in TennCare and receive additional financial remuneration based on inflation as a result of this resolution, then state and federal expenditures will increase by unknown amounts. Such amounts will be dependent upon several unknown factors including the individuals health-care needs, the extent of coverage provided by TennCare for those needs, and the rates of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index in future years. As a result, determining a precise fiscal estimate is problematic. However, such increase to state and federal expenditures is reasonably estimated to exceed $5,000 per year.
