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 stipulates that the total amount paid for attorney fees related to this claim cannot exceed 25% of the total awarded amount.

Additionally, the bill includes several legal insertions that affirm the truth of the facts stated in the preamble, direct the Chief Financial Officer to issue a warrant for the payment to L.E.'s irrevocable trust, and clarify that the compensation provided is intended to cover all present and future claims against the department arising from the circumstances that led to L.E.'s injuries. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
