The bill proposes an appropriation of $1.75 million from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles for the relief of the Estate of Danielle Maudsley, who died as a result of alleged negligence by Trooper Daniel Cole and the Florida Highway Patrol. The preamble of the bill outlines the circumstances surrounding Ms. Maudsley's death, including her arrest, the use of an electronic control device by Trooper Cole, and the subsequent traumatic brain injury that led to her vegetative state and eventual death. A settlement agreement had previously been reached, which included a payment of $200,000, but the estate is seeking the remaining balance of $1.75 million.

The bill includes several key provisions: it declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true, appropriates the specified amount for damages, directs the Chief Financial Officer to issue a warrant for payment, and establishes that the total compensation, including the previous payment, is intended to cover all claims related to Ms. Maudsley's death. Additionally, it stipulates that attorney fees related to this claim may not exceed 25 percent of the awarded amount. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
