This bill provides for the relief of H.H., a child who suffered severe injuries due to the negligence of the Department of Children and Families (DCF). The bill appropriates a total of $14,926,639.56 from the General Revenue Fund to compensate H.H. for the damages sustained as a result of DCF's failure to adequately investigate multiple child abuse reports. The bill outlines the circumstances leading to H.H.'s injuries, including the department's inadequate response to reports of abuse and neglect, which ultimately resulted in H.H. being hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Following a jury trial, a verdict was rendered in favor of H.H., but the amount awarded exceeds the sovereign immunity limits set by Florida law.

The bill includes several key provisions, such as the establishment of an irrevocable trust for H.H. to receive the compensation, the waiver of government liens related to H.H.'s treatment, and a limitation on attorney fees to 25% of the total amount awarded. The legislative intent is to ensure that the compensation provided is the sole remedy for all claims arising from the circumstances described in the act. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
