As I read the bill, as drafted, I had assumed that it was only awards made by a court. The bill does raise a few questions, so I can't speak with authority because I'm not as familiar with the bill as perhaps my colleagues from Public Safety, who have already appeared, would have indicated.
I had thought we were speaking of court orders rather than settlements. I had thought that was the intention. It's not for me to say what the sponsor's intention in the bill was, but that was what I gleaned from reading the bill.
