FL S0660

Establishes specific conditions under which community-based care lead agencies and their subcontractors can avoid tort liability for acts or omissions of their personnel, including completing criminal background checks, verifying staff are not listed in state registries as ineligible to work with children, reporting misconduct allegations, and requiring child sexual abuse prevention and abuse reporting training

Lead agencies are not liable for acts or omissions of subcontractors or subcontractor employees under the amended provisions

Subcontractors and lead agencies may still be held liable if claimants prove the entity was not in substantial compliance with required safeguards, the requirement was designed to prevent the specific type of harm alleged, and the noncompliance contributed to the harm

Maintains existing damage caps: $2 million for net economic damages per liability claim, $200,000 per automobile claim, and $400,000 for noneconomic damages per claim

Removes the previous provision that automatically increased damage limitations by 5% annually from July 1, 2014, and deletes language limiting applicability to contracts entered into or renewed after July 1, 2025
