(a) Not later than ninety days after hearing a claim, the Claims Commissioner, the Deputy Claims Commissioner or a special deputy shall make all reasonable efforts to render a decision as provided in subsection (a) of section 4-158 and subject to the limitation prescribed in subsection (c) of section 4-160. The Claims Commissioner, the Deputy Claims Commissioner or a special deputy shall make a finding of fact for each claim and file such finding with the order, recommendation or authorization disposing of the claim. The Office of the Claims Commissioner shall provide a copy of such finding and order, recommendation or authorization to the claimant and to the representative for the state, which representative may in appropriate cases be the Attorney General.

(b) If such claim will automatically be submitted to the General Assembly by the Office of the Claims Commissioner pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (1) of subsection (a) of section 4-159, the Office of the Claims Commissioner shall give written notice to the claimant that such claim will be so submitted and that the General Assembly may accept, modify or reject the recommendation of the Office of the Claims Commissioner or remand the claim to the Office of the Claims Commissioner.

(c) If the claimant has the right pursuant to subsection (b) of section 4-158 to request the General Assembly to review a decision of the Claims Commissioner, Deputy Claims Commissioner or special deputy, the Office of the Claims Commissioner shall give written notice to the claimant that the claimant may request the General Assembly to review the decision and that the General Assembly may confirm, modify or vacate the decision or remand the claim to the Office of the Claims Commissioner. The notice shall (1) indicate the date by which such a request must be filed with the Office of the Claims Commissioner, (2) inform the claimant of the claimant's responsibility to set forth a written summary, not to exceed two pages, of the factual and legal basis for requesting review by the General Assembly of the decision of the Claims Commissioner, the Deputy Claims Commissioner or a special deputy, and (3) inform the claimant that failure to comply with the requirements of this subsection shall extinguish any right of review of a decision of the Claims Commissioner, the Deputy Claims Commissioner or a special deputy by the General Assembly. The Office of the Claims Commissioner may not submit any claim to the General Assembly for review unless the request for review is timely filed and the claimant has complied with the requirements of subdivision (2) of this subsection when requesting such review.
