Plain-English Summary

The legislation would require companies and organizations involved in lawsuits to publicly disclose information about those legal cases, including settlement amounts and the issues being disputed. This transparency requirement would apply to businesses of various sizes and could affect how disputes are handled in courts across the country. The goal is to give the public and other potential litigants better information about legal disputes and their outcomes.
