This bill provides for the relief of L.P., a minor, by appropriating $28 million from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) as compensation for injuries and damages sustained due to the negligence of DCF employees and caseworkers. The bill outlines the circumstances leading to L.P.'s injuries, including a failure by DCF to adequately respond to a wellness check that resulted in L.P. being left in the custody of her mother, who subsequently attempted to murder her. Following a jury trial, DCF was found negligent, and the jury awarded L.P. damages amounting to $28 million, which was affirmed by an appeal.

The bill includes several key provisions: it declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true, appropriates the $28 million for L.P.'s benefit, directs the Chief Financial Officer to issue a warrant for this amount to a special needs trust for L.P., and establishes that the total compensation provided is intended to cover all present and future claims related to the incident. Additionally, it sets a cap on attorney fees and similar expenses related to the claim, limiting them to 25% of the total amount awarded. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
