The bill proposes financial relief for J.N., a minor, due to injuries sustained from an accident caused by the negligence of Hillsborough County in maintaining sidewalks and drainage systems. On June 7, 2019, J.N. suffered severe injuries after her bicycle hit an uneven sidewalk, leading to multiple surgeries and ongoing medical issues. A settlement agreement was reached between J.N.'s guardian, Stephany Grullon, and Hillsborough County, where the county initially paid $200,000, the limit under Florida's sovereign immunity law. However, an additional $400,000 remains unpaid, which the county has agreed to support through this legislative claims bill.

The bill includes several key provisions: it affirms the facts stated in the preamble, authorizes Hillsborough County to appropriate $400,000 for J.N.'s benefit, and establishes that the total compensation from both the county's payment and the amount awarded under this act will cover all claims related to the incident. Additionally, it stipulates that attorney fees and related costs cannot exceed 25% of the total amount awarded. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
