This bill is designed to provide financial relief to 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 legislative intent to ensure that all government liens, including Medicaid liens related to H.H.'s treatment, are waived and paid by the state. It also specifies that the total amount paid for attorney fees related to this claim cannot exceed 25% of the total awarded amount.

The bill includes several key provisions, such as the establishment of an irrevocable trust for H.H. to receive the compensation, and it emphasizes that the funds provided under this act are intended to be the sole compensation for all present and future claims arising from the circumstances that led to H.H.'s injuries. The bill reflects the findings of a jury trial that determined DCF's negligence directly contributed to H.H.'s catastrophic injuries, which include permanent brain damage and other serious health issues. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
