This bill provides for the relief of Mande Penney-Lemmon by Sarasota County, authorizing an appropriation of $2,291,364.63 to compensate her for injuries sustained due to the negligence of a county employee, Jill Parnell. The bill outlines the circumstances of the accident, which occurred on October 1, 2018, when Ms. Parnell, while driving a county vehicle and wearing headphones, collided with Ms. Penney-Lemmon's vehicle, resulting in significant injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. A jury found Sarasota County liable for these injuries, awarding Ms. Penney-Lemmon a total of $2,491,364.63, of which the county has already paid the statutory limit of $200,000.

The bill includes several key provisions: it declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true, authorizes Sarasota County to draw a warrant for the compensation amount, and specifies that the total amount paid for attorney fees related to this claim may not exceed 25 percent of the total awarded. Additionally, it states that the amounts paid by Sarasota County under both the statutory limit and this act are intended to be the sole compensation for all present and future claims arising from the incident. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
