Floor Amendment to HB 2-FN-A-LOCAL
Amend the bill by inserting after section 604 the following new section and renumbering the effective date to be the last numbered section:
605 Youth Development Center Claims Administration and Settlement Fund. Amend RSA 21-M:11-a, V to read as follows:
V. For all claims involving both sexual and physical abuse or sexual abuse only, no individual claimant shall be paid more than $1,500,000 in settlement of all claims in the aggregate. For all claims involving physical abuse only, no individual claimant shall be paid more than $150,000 in settlement of all physical abuse claims in the aggregate. The attorney general designee and the administrator may authorize an individual claimant’s settlement to be more than $1,500,000 when the nature and character of the acts of abuse, or the frequency and duration of those acts, are so egregious that the deciding parties deem a higher settlement necessary. In no instance shall any individual claimant be paid more than the threshold amount at which a financial settlement would be subject to legislative approval under RSA 14:35-b.
