Historical note

The Joint Committee on Accounts and Claims considers the merits of claims brought against the state. The rules of the House of Representatives states that "All claims against the state in the amount of one thousand dollars ($1000.00) or less shall be presented in omnibus bills and shall be an order of introduction only on the last legislative day of each week." (Rhode Island Manual, 1989-1990, p. 475).
