This bill provides for the relief of Lourdes Latour and Edward Latour by Miami-Dade County, following injuries sustained by Mrs. Latour due to the negligence of the county. On November 5, 2017, Mrs. Latour was injured when a malfunctioning automatic gate arm struck her while she was riding her bicycle. A jury later found Miami-Dade County 100 percent liable for the incident, awarding Mrs. Latour $4.75 million and Mr. Latour $165,000 for loss of consortium. After a settlement was reached, Miami-Dade County agreed to pay $800,000, with $300,000 already paid and the remaining $500,000 to be appropriated through this bill.

The bill includes several key provisions: it declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true, authorizes Miami-Dade County to appropriate $500,000 to the Latours as compensation, and stipulates that this amount, along with any payments made under Florida Statutes, will serve as the sole compensation for all claims related to the incident. Additionally, it limits attorney fees to a maximum of 25 percent of the total amount awarded under the act. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
