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.
