This bill provides for the relief of L.E., a child who suffered severe injuries and damages due to the negligence of the Department of Children and Families (DCF). The bill appropriates $3.8 million from the General Revenue Fund to compensate L.E. for the injuries sustained as a result of DCF's failure to protect her from abuse and neglect. The bill outlines that the initial payment of $200,000 has already been made, which is the maximum allowed under sovereign immunity laws, and the remaining amount is contingent upon the passage and funding of this claim bill. The bill also includes provisions regarding the payment of attorney fees, limiting them to a maximum of 25% of the total amount awarded.

Additionally, the bill declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true and directs the Chief Financial Officer to issue a warrant for the payment to an irrevocable trust established for L.E.'s benefit. It emphasizes that the compensation provided through this act is intended to cover all present and future claims against the department related to the circumstances that led to L.E.'s injuries. The bill aims to ensure that L.E. receives the necessary financial support for her ongoing care and rehabilitation following the traumatic experiences she endured.
