This bill provides for the relief of L.P., a minor, by appropriating $28 million from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) for injuries and damages sustained due to the negligence of its employees and caseworkers. The bill outlines the circumstances surrounding L.P.'s case, including a wellness check that failed to identify the mother's mental health issues, which ultimately led to a violent incident where L.P. was severely injured. Following a jury trial, DCF was found negligent, and the court awarded L.P. damages, which DCF has partially paid in accordance with the statutory cap of liability.

The bill includes several key provisions: it declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true, appropriates the $28 million for L.P.'s benefit, directs the Chief Financial Officer to issue a warrant for this amount to a special needs trust for L.P., and establishes that the total compensation provided is intended to cover all present and future claims related to the incident. Additionally, it sets a limit on attorney fees and related expenses to no more than 25% of the total amount awarded. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
