The bill proposes an appropriation of $3.8 million from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) for the relief of L.E., a child who suffered severe injuries and damages due to the department's negligence. The bill acknowledges the department's failure to protect L.E. from harm, despite multiple reports of child abuse and a known history of violence and substance misuse by her parents. The settlement agreement, which has been approved by the circuit court, stipulates that the DCF will make an initial payment of $200,000, with the remaining $3.8 million contingent upon the passage of this bill.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to waive all government liens, including Medicaid liens, related to L.E.'s treatment and care, which will be paid by the state. It also establishes that the total amount paid for attorney fees related to this claim cannot exceed 25% of the awarded amount. The bill aims to ensure that L.E. receives the necessary financial support for her ongoing care and rehabilitation, as she requires extensive medical and therapeutic services due to the catastrophic injuries sustained while in the care of her parents.
