Hoffman Claims Bill Has A Fair Chance this Session

January 9th, 2012 by flanews

A claims bill to compensate the family of a FSU student killed in a botched drug sting is expected to get some traction this session.

Rachel Hoffman was killed in 2009 while working undercover for Tallahassee Police. Hoffman�s family sued the city and was awarded 2.6 million dollars. The settlement still needs legislative approval. State Senator Mike Fasano is sponsoring the Hoffman claims bill.

�It is a better picture, not just in getting this bill passed, but for the Hoffman family, getting this behind them, a wonderful family who lost a wonderful daughter,� said Fasano.

Since the bill has no fiscal impact on the state, Fasano thinks it has a good chance of passing.
