The bill amends section 409.993 of the Florida Statutes to adjust the liability limits for community-based care lead agencies and their subcontractors in tort actions. It lowers the maximum net economic damages from $2 million to $1 million per liability claim and establishes a cap of $200,000 for automobile claims. Additionally, it specifies that lead agencies and subcontractors providing foster care and related services are not liable for any claims or judgments exceeding a total of $1.5 million arising from the same incident. The bill also mandates that these agencies obtain a minimum of $500,000 in general liability insurance coverage per occurrence, with an aggregate limit of $1 million.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision that restricts attorneys from charging fees exceeding 25 percent of any judgment or settlement. It removes previous limitations on damages that adjusted annually based on inflation, thereby simplifying the compensation structure for claims against these agencies. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
