(a) If the office of the Attorney General or its designee determines that an applicant pursuant to this part is eligible for compensation, upon receipt of all information it deems necessary to evaluate the applicant’s loss, it shall make an offer in an amount it deems to be just and fair.
(b) The offer shall be made to the applicant in writing, who shall either accept or reject the offer in writing within 30 days of receipt thereof. Failure to respond to the offer shall be deemed a rejection. If the applicant accepts the offer, the applicant shall be deemed to have waived all other legal remedies against the State of California, it agencies, officers, and employees. If the applicant rejects the offer, all other legal remedies may be pursued against the State of California, it agencies, officers, and employees.
