Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1553, effective July 26, 2009, requires citizens to present the Standard Tort Claim form with the government agency named in their claim. The law also requires State and local government agencies to post the Standard Tort Claim form on their websites with instructions on how to complete the form. In compliance with these requirements and for the convenience of citizens, The State Office of Financial Management (OFM) developed a Standard Tort Claim Form Packet.
