This bill provides for the relief of L.E., a child who suffered severe injuries and damages due to the negligence of the Department of Children and Families (DCF). The bill appropriates $3.8 million from the General Revenue Fund to compensate L.E. for the injuries sustained as a result of DCF's failure to protect her from abuse and neglect. The bill outlines the circumstances surrounding L.E.'s case, including her birth to a mother with a history of substance abuse and violence, and the subsequent failure of DCF to adequately intervene despite multiple reports of child abuse. The bill also acknowledges a negotiated settlement between L.E. and DCF, which was approved by the circuit court.

The bill includes several key provisions, such as the declaration of the facts stated in the preamble as true, the direction for the Chief Financial Officer to issue a warrant for the payment to L.E.'s irrevocable trust, and a limitation on attorney fees related to this claim, which cannot exceed 25% of the total amount awarded. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
