Require disclosure of certain election contributions by attorneys of record
This bill requires attorneys representing parties in civil cases to disclose any campaign contributions or expenditures they made to a judge's campaign or related committees over the past six years. The disclosure must be filed with the court at the attorney's first appearance or with any subsequent legal document, and attorneys must update the information promptly if it changes. If an attorney has not made any such contributions, they must file a statement confirming this fact. Parties involved in the case or opposing attorneys can take legal action against an attorney who fails to file these disclosures accurately and on time. The presiding judge also has the authority to sanction attorneys who do not comply with these reporting requirements.
