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) to compensate L.P. for injuries and damages sustained due to the negligence of DCF employees and caseworkers. The bill outlines the circumstances leading to L.P.'s injuries, including a failure by DCF to adequately respond to a wellness check that ultimately resulted in L.P. being left in a dangerous situation with her mother, who attempted to murder her. Following a jury trial, DCF was found negligent, and the jury awarded L.P. damages, which have not been fully compensated due to statutory caps on 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 limits the total amount paid for attorney fees and related expenses to no more than 25% of the total amount awarded under the act. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
