LC 3845 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Provide for calculation of attorney fees against government entity

This bill establishes a cap on attorney fees that can be charged to the state or local government entities when they lose a legal case. It requires that any fees awarded against a government agency be calculated by multiplying the Attorney General's hourly salary rate by the number of hours the attorney worked on the case. The law applies to all legal actions where fees are awarded against the state, political subdivisions, or their agencies, regardless of whether the fees are set by law or court order. The measure takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
