(a) If the board determines that an applicant pursuant to this part is eligible for compensation, and upon receipt of all information it deems necessary to evaluate the applicant’s loss, the board shall make an offer in an amount it deems to be just compensation, subject to the approval of the Director of Finance. The board shall appoint a person to facilitate the settlement process provided in this section, provided that the presiding judge of the Alameda County Superior Court may reject any appointment within 30 days of notice of the appointment.
(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, all other legal remedies are waived as against the State of California and its agencies, officers, and employees. If the applicant rejects the offer, all other legal remedies may be pursued against the State of California or its agencies, officers, or employees as otherwise provided in this division.
