This bill is designed to provide financial relief to H.H., a child who suffered severe injuries due to the negligence of the Department of Children and Families (DCF). The bill appropriates a total of $14,926,639.56 from the General Revenue Fund to compensate H.H. for the damages sustained as a result of DCF's failure to adequately investigate multiple child abuse reports. The bill acknowledges the catastrophic injuries H.H. endured, including permanent brain damage and the need for ongoing medical care, which were directly linked to the department's negligence in protecting her from harm.

The legislation also includes provisions to ensure that all government liens, including Medicaid liens related to H.H.'s treatment, are waived and paid by the state. Additionally, it stipulates that the total amount paid for attorney fees related to this claim cannot exceed 25% of the total awarded amount. The bill aims to provide comprehensive compensation for H.H.'s injuries and damages while limiting the financial liability of the state in accordance with existing laws.
