FL S0032

Authorizes the District School Board of Sumter County to pay Donald Brown $1.4 million in compensation for injuries sustained on October 18, 2004, when a school bus driver negligently pulled in front of his motorcycle, causing a collision

Donald Brown's right leg was amputated below the knee at the accident scene, requiring multiple surgeries and eventually an above-the-knee amputation in 2010 due to complications

A jury awarded Brown $2,941,240.60 in damages, later reduced to $2,651,375.83 plus costs and interest; the school board has already paid $100,000 under statutory liability limits

Payment structure includes an initial warrant of $900,000 plus $50,000 annual payments from 2015 through 2024

Limits attorney fees, lobbying fees, and related costs to 15% of the first $1 million and 10% of the remainder, totaling no more than $190,000
