Charla Nash, right, and her daughter Briana Nash, left, smile and talk before speaking at a public hearing with Connecticut legislators at the Legislative Office Building, Friday, March 21, 2014, in Hartford, Conn. Nash who was mauled by a friend’s chimpanzee in 2009 is making a personal plea to allow her to sue the state for $150 million in damages. The panel is considering a bill that would override the June decision by the State Claims Commissioner, who dismissed Nash’s initial request for permission to sue. The state generally is immune from lawsuits, unless allowed by the claims commissioner. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill)
