This bill provides for the relief of L.E., a child who suffered severe injuries due to the negligence of the Department of Children and Families (DCF) in Florida. The bill appropriates $3.8 million from the General Revenue Fund to compensate L.E. for the damages sustained as a result of the department's failure to protect her from abuse and neglect. The bill acknowledges the department's duty to ensure child safety and outlines the circumstances leading to L.E.'s catastrophic injuries, which included a history of abuse and neglect by her parents, ultimately resulting in her being diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and requiring lifelong care.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions that limit the total amount paid for attorney fees related to this claim to no more than 25 percent of the total amount awarded. It also stipulates that the compensation provided under this act is intended to be the sole remedy for all present and future claims against the department arising from the situation described. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law, ensuring that L.E. receives the necessary financial support for her ongoing medical and therapeutic needs.
