The Claims Commissioner shall cause a record to be made of each claim. Such record shall be retained in the files of the Office of the Claims Commissioner until the sine die adjournment of the regular session of the General Assembly next succeeding the disposition of such claim, at which time it shall be disposed of as may be decided pursuant to section 11-8a. Copies of such record and of the hearing transcript, if any, shall be made available upon request to the claimant and to the Attorney General and as the Claims Commissioner otherwise may direct.
