AI Summary

This bill creates a new section of Kentucky law to establish a new procedure for legal settlements with minors when the amount of the settlement is $25,000 or less. It allows the person having legal custody of the minor to settle or compromise the claim without the need for a guardian or conservator, as long as certain conditions are met, such as the funds being deposited into a restricted account or used to purchase an annuity for the minor. The bill also amends existing law related to settlements for minors or persons under disability to conform with the new procedures.
