Requires courts to reveal who funds large lawsuits, especially foreign groups.
This bill would make it public who is funding large lawsuits, like class actions, and if those funders are foreign. Currently, this information is often kept private. The bill would also stop funders from controlling how a case is handled or seeing confidential legal documents.
Today, parties in large federal lawsuits do not have to reveal who is funding their case, especially if the funder is a foreign entity. This bill would require parties to disclose the identity of all third-party funders, including any foreign connections, and share their funding agreements. It would also stop funders from influencing legal strategy or seeing private court documents without a judge's approval.
