This bill provides for the relief of Jose Correa by Miami-Dade County, authorizing an appropriation of $4.1 million to compensate him for injuries sustained due to the negligence of a Miami-Dade County bus driver. The incident occurred on December 16, 2021, when Mr. Correa was lawfully crossing the street in a marked crosswalk and was struck by the bus. Following a lawsuit filed by Mr. Correa, a settlement agreement was reached, with Miami-Dade County agreeing to pay $200,000, while the remaining $4.1 million is contingent upon the passage of this claim bill.

The bill includes several key provisions: it declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true, authorizes Miami-Dade County to appropriate the funds for Mr. Correa, and stipulates that the total compensation is intended to cover all present and future claims related to the incident. Additionally, it limits the total amount paid for attorney and lobbying fees to no more than 25 percent of the total awarded amount. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
