2-9-301 . Filing of claims against state and political subdivisions -- disposition by state agency as prerequisite.
(1)All claims against the state arising under the provisions of parts 1 through 3 of this chapter must be presented in writing to the department of administration.
(2)A complaint based on a claim subject to the provisions of subsection
(1)may not be filed in district court unless the claimant has first presented the claim to the department of administration and the department has finally denied the claim. The department must grant or deny the claim in writing within 120 days after the claim is presented to the department. The failure of the department to make final disposition of a claim within 120 days after it is presented to the department must be considered a final denial of the claim for purposes of this subsection. Upon the department's receipt of the claim, the statute of limitations on the claim is tolled for 120 days. The provisions of this subsection do not apply to claims that may be asserted under Title 25, chapter 20, by third-party complaint, cross-claim, or counterclaim.
(3)All claims against a political subdivision arising under the provisions of parts 1 through 3 shall be presented to and filed with the clerk or secretary of the political subdivision.
