Florida H6511 appropriates $5 million to compensate Maury Hernandez for injuries sustained due to Department of Corrections' failure to enforce.

Florida H6511 provides $5 million in compensation to former Broward County Sheriff's Deputy Maury Hernandez for injuries and damages resulting from the Department of Corrections' failure to enforce probation laws. The bill acknowledges that Hernandez was critically injured by a probationer who violated probation conditions, including illegal possession of a firearm. The Department of Corrections did not report these violations, leading to Hernandez's shooting. The bill waives any state liens against Hernandez and limits attorney fees to 25% of the award.
