Plain-English Summary

This bill would require companies and individuals who provide funding for lawsuits to disclose who they are and how much money they're putting into cases, similar to how campaign donations are tracked. The goal is to make the legal system more transparent so judges, juries, and the public can see who's financially backing different lawsuits, which could affect how cases are perceived and decided. The requirement would apply to third-party litigation funders—outside investors who pay for legal costs in exchange for a share of any settlement or judgment.
