This bill provides for the relief of Heriberto A. Sanchez-Mayen by the City of St. Petersburg, allocating a total of $2.3 million in compensation for severe injuries he sustained due to the negligence of the city's police officers. The bill outlines the circumstances of the incident, which occurred on June 8, 2023, when Mr. Sanchez-Mayen was wrongfully arrested and subsequently injured during transport to jail. The injuries he sustained were catastrophic, resulting in the amputation of both legs and leaving him as an incomplete quadriplegic, requiring lifelong medical care.

The bill includes several key provisions: it declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true, directs the City of St. Petersburg to issue a warrant for the compensation amount, and specifies that the total amount paid for attorney fees related to this claim cannot exceed 25 percent of the awarded amount. Additionally, it establishes that the compensation provided under this act is intended to cover all present and future claims arising from the incident. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
