Bill summary
This law updates the rules for "lawsuit funding." This is when a company gives you money to help pay for your legal case. If you win your lawsuit, you pay them back out of your settlement; if you lose, you don't have to pay them back. This bill creates new, clearer rules for these companies to make sure the process is fair for everyone.
