  Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, the state shall be immune from liability in all claims for injury that lie in tort or could lie in tort regardless of whether that may be the type of action or the form of relief chosen by the claimant except as provided otherwise in this section or section 24-10-106. In addition to any other claims for which the state waives immunity under this article, sovereign immunity is waived by the state in an action for injuries resulting from a prescribed fire started or maintained by the state or any of its employees on or after January 1, 2012.    Nothing in this section shall be construed to constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity if the injury arises from any act, or failure to act, of a state employee if the act is the type of act for which the state employee would be or heretofore has been personally immune from liability.    In addition to the immunity provided under subsection (1) of this section, the state shall also have the same immunity as a state employee for any act or failure to act for which a state employee would be or heretofore has been personally immune from liability.

The following notes are taken from cases decided under former CSA C. 153, § 27, which dealt with the findings of fact and recommendations by the former Colorado claims commission.   Court cannot dictate commission's judicial decision. Where it appears that the commission is called upon to audit and examine claims, and in doing so is invested with judicial powers, a court, while it may compel it to take action, will never dictate what its decision shall be. Post Printing & Publ'g Co. v. Shafroth, 53Colo. 129, 124 P. 176, appeal dismissed, 226 U.S. 602, 33 S. Ct. 115, 57 L. Ed. 377 (1912).   But will compel commission to act upon claim. The power conferred upon the commission to audit and allow claims against the state is of a judicial nature, and mandamus will not lie to compel the commission to allow a claim. But if the commission refuses to act upon a claim properly presented to it, the court will compel it to do so. People v. Auditor, 2Colo. 97 (1873).

2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 10 - Governmental Immunity|§ 24-10-113. Payment of Judgments

  A public entity or designated insurer shall pay any compromise, settlement, or final judgment in the manner provided in this section, and an action pursuant to the Colorado rules of civil procedure shall be an appropriate remedy to compel a public entity to perform an act required under this section.    The state and the governing body of any other public entity shall pay, to the extent funds are available in the fiscal year in which it becomes final, any judgment out of any funds to the credit of the public entity that are available from any or all of the following:   A self-insurance reserve fund;    Funds that are unappropriated for any other purpose unless the use of such funds is restricted by law or contract to other purposes;    Funds that are appropriated for the current fiscal year for the payment of such judgments and not previously encumbered.       If a public entity is unable to pay a judgment during the fiscal year in which it becomes final because of lack of available funds, the public entity shall levy a tax, in a separate item to cover such judgment, sufficient to discharge such judgment in the next fiscal year or in the succeeding fiscal year if the budget of the public entity has been finally adopted for the fiscal year in which the judgment becomes final before such judgment becomes final; but in no event shall such annual levy for one or more judgments exceed a total of ten mills, exclusive of existing mill levies. The public entity shall continue to levy such tax, not to exceed a total annual levy of ten mills, exclusive of existing mill levies, but in no event less than ten mills if such judgment will not be discharged by a lesser levy, until such judgment is discharged. In the event that more than one judgment is unsatisfied and a ten-mill levy is insufficient to satisfy the judgments in one year, the proceeds of the ten-mill levy shall be prorated annually among the judgment creditors in the proportion that each outstanding judgment bears to the total judgments outstanding.
