This bill provides for the compensation of the Estate of Peniel Janvier by the City of Miami Beach following the tragic drowning of Mr. Janvier on August 16, 2022. The bill acknowledges the negligence of the City’s lifeguards and personnel, who failed to respond to the incident, leading to Mr. Janvier's death. The Estate has reached a settlement with the City for a total of $2 million, of which $300,000 will be paid immediately, and an additional $1.7 million will be appropriated through this legislation.

The bill includes several key provisions: it declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true, authorizes the City of Miami Beach to appropriate the $1.7 million from unencumbered funds, and stipulates that this amount, along with the previously mentioned payment, will serve as the sole compensation for all claims related to Mr. Janvier's death. Additionally, it limits attorney fees to a maximum of 25 percent of the total amount awarded under the act. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
