SB54

Kansas SB54 limits discovery and disclosure of third-party litigation funding agreements and mandates reporting to the judicial council.

Kansas SB54 amends the state's code of civil procedure to limit the discovery and disclosure of third-party litigation funding agreements. These agreements involve parties who are not directly involved in the litigation but have agreed to pay legal expenses related to the case. The bill prohibits the discovery of such agreements unless the court finds that disclosure is necessary to prove an element of a claim.
