The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a settlement to Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, which kept its doors open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic despite the county’s health order.

The county settled for $400,000, which will come from the county Health Department’s budget and will go to pay the church’s legal fees. The state will reportedly pay an additional $400,000 under the agreement.
