Lawsuits would require revealing who is secretly funding them and how much they stand to gain.
This bill would make sure that parties in federal lawsuits tell the court and other parties who is financially backing their case. It would require them to show agreements where someone else gets paid based on the lawsuit's outcome. This aims to bring more openness to how civil actions are funded.
Right now, parties in federal civil lawsuits do not have to openly share if a third party is funding their case and how much that funder stands to gain. If this bill becomes law, parties or their lawyers would need to tell the court and other parties who these funders are. They would also have to show the agreements that outline these financial arrangements, though courts could limit what is shared to protect sensitive details.
