relative to reporting requirements for persons or entities financing lawsuits.

This bill establishes the New Hampshire Third-Party Litigation Funding Transparency Act to regulate companies that provide funding for consumer lawsuits. It requires these funding companies to register with the state, provide clear disclosures in contracts (including a 10-day right to cancel without penalty), and limit charges to 36% annually. The bill prohibits practices like paying referral fees to attorneys and restricts funding companies from influencing legal decisions or settlement choices. It also requires disclosure of funding arrangements to other parties in legal claims and sets out registration requirements and penalties for violations. The law takes effect January 1, 2026.
