PUBLICATION OF LEGAL SETTLEMENT TERMS

Added requirement for state agencies and public schools to publish settlement agreement terms on the Sunshine Portal within 30 days in downloadable format for free public access

Created new loss prevention review teams that must be appointed within 30 days when deaths, serious injuries, or substantial losses are alleged or suspected to be caused by state agency actions

Requires review teams to investigate incidents, interview relevant persons, review documents, and submit written reports with findings, cause analysis, and recommendations for preventing future incidents

Added new definitions for 'board', 'director', 'division', 'local public body', 'public employee', 'state', 'state agency', 'serious injury', and 'substantial loss' to clarify who and what the law covers

Established annual reporting requirement where the director must submit a report to the legislature by October 1 each year summarizing loss prevention review activities and effectiveness metrics

Set effective date of the act as July 1, 2025

Changed threshold for 'substantial loss' to mean losses greater than $250,000 or lesser amounts determined by the director, making the review team requirement applicable to a broader range of incidents
