This bill provides for the financial relief of the Estate of M.N. due to the negligence of the Broward County Sheriff's Office (BSO), which resulted in M.N.'s injuries and subsequent death. The bill authorizes the BSO to appropriate $2,588,258.50 to compensate the estate for damages sustained. It also includes provisions to waive all government liens, including Medicaid liens, related to M.N.'s treatment and care, and establishes that the total amount paid for attorney fees cannot exceed 25 percent of the total awarded amount.

The bill outlines the failures of the BSO during the investigation of M.N.'s injuries, including the lack of communication with the non-offending parent, Mr. Nevarez, and the failure to conduct a thorough investigation that could have prevented M.N.'s death. The BSO admitted negligence during a trial, leading to a jury awarding Mr. Nevarez $4.5 million for his loss, with a significant portion attributed to the BSO's actions. The act aims to ensure that the estate receives the compensation awarded by the court while limiting the liability of the BSO and establishing guidelines for attorney fees.
