HR 9922 United States House · 118th Congress

Litigation Transparency Act of 2024

This bill requires parties in federal civil lawsuits to disclose any third parties (other than their lawyers) who could receive payment if the case succeeds, including the details of any agreements creating that contingent benefit. It directly affects all parties involved in civil cases, attorneys, and third parties with financial stakes tied to case outcomes. Key provisions mandate written disclosure to the court and all parties within 10 days of agreement or case filing, along with corrections if information becomes inaccurate. Exceptions apply for standard loan repayments (including interest rates within specified limits) and attorney fee reimbursements.
