When a claim is filed or made against the state, on which in the judgment of the director of management the state would be liable except for the fact of its sovereignty or which has no appropriation available for its payment, the director of management shall deliver that claim to the state appeal board. The state appeal board shall make a record of the receipt of that claim and forthwith deliver it to the special assistant attorney general for claims who shall, with a view to determining the merits and legality of it, fully investigate the claim, including the facts upon which it is based and report in duplicate findings and conclusions of law to the state appeal board. To help defray the initial costs of processing a claim and the costs of investigating a claim, the department of management may assess a processing fee and a fee to reimburse the office of the attorney general for the costs of the claim investigation against the state agency which incurred the liability of the claim.
