Abstract
Within its waiver of state sovereign immunity, Florida requires plaintiffs who secure a judgment against the state, or one of its public entities, to seek legislative approval for payment of the judgment when it exceeds the statutory threshold. This Note explores the history of Florida’s waiver of sovereign immunity and the harm perpetuated by Florida’s claim bill system while also examining the unique features of Florida’s claim process. This Note then reviews other state approaches to sovereign immunity and recommends solutions for Florida’s claim system.
