Summary

The bill adds a new “Litigation Financing” part to the Florida statutes, defining who is a litigation financier and what counts as a financing agreement. It requires courts to consider possible conflicts of interest, forces certain parties to give prescribed notices, and bans foreign funders from specific actions. Violations would be enforced under the state’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and could carry fines.
