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, which allegedly contributed 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 directly by the City, and an additional $1.7 million will be appropriated through this legislative act.

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 $1.7 million for the Estate, and stipulates that this payment, along with the amount paid under Florida Statutes, 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.
