"F. All remaining balances owed to Mr. Victor Burnette by the insurer in the annuity originally provided in accordance with Chapter 618, 2010 Acts of Assembly, shall be paid to Mr. Burnette in full no later than June 30, 2027 by the insurer.  The payment shall be a single lump-sum payment. Upon payment of the lump sum required by this act, the insurer's obligations to make any further payments under the annuity are terminated, fully satisfied, and discharged, and no additional amounts shall be due to Mr. Burnette under that annuity. The amount paid shall reflect discounting to the date's value as of the date of disbursement."



Explanation

(This language amendment directs a full payout of remaining annuity amounts owed to Mr. Victor Burnette. Mr. Burnette was awarded a wrongful incarceration claim in 2010 in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 618, 2010 Acts of Assembly. This language directs payment of the remaining balance to Mr. Burnette in accordance with current policy whereby wrongful incarceration claims are paid as single lump sum amounts. There is no cost to the state for this amendment.)
