      Sec. 12-242hh. Notice of taking. Claim for compensation form. (a) The secretary shall provide reasonable notice of the takings pursuant to section 12-242gg to all owners of affected state obligations. Such notice may include but is not limited to the mailing of such notice to the owner or holder of such obligations listed on the registration books and notice by publication. Such notice shall provide a summary of the rights taken pursuant to section 12-242gg and the method of securing a claim for compensation form. Failure to receive actual notice shall not operate to extend the period set forth in this section to file a claim for compensation form except as provided in subsection (b) of this section.

      (b) Upon request, or on his own initiative, the secretary shall distribute a claim for compensation form to any owner or his representative. Such claim for compensation form shall request any information which the secretary deems relevant in determining compensation for the takings pursuant to section 12-242gg, including proof of ownership of such affected obligations. The secretary may request additional or supplemental information which he deems necessary to the determination of compensation and proof of ownership. Any claim for compensation form shall be signed under oath and filed with the secretary no later than two hundred seventy days after March 8, 1995. If an owner fails to file a claim for compensation form with respect to any right, title, claim or interest of such owner taken pursuant to section 12-242gg on or before two hundred seventy days after March 8, 1995, such owner's right to compensation with respect to affected state obligations of such owner for the takings pursuant to section 12-242gg shall expire, provided the secretary may, for good cause shown, extend this deadline. Any owner aggrieved by a decision of the secretary concerning the extension of the deadline for filing a claim for compensation form may appeal to the superior court for the judicial district of New Britain in the manner in which appeals are taken pursuant to section 12-237.
