Summary

The bill mandates that any party or attorney disclose any third‑party funding agreement to the court and all parties at the time of filing, and it imposes a fiduciary duty on funders. It also bars funders from influencing case strategy, giving legal advice, or receiving more than 25% of the recovery (with combined funder and attorney fees not exceeding 50%). Violations can trigger court sanctions and make the funding agreement unenforceable.
