Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

SB 1413 - Currently, the fee that a private attorney retained by the state is entitled to receive is limited based on a percentage of the amount that is recovered. Current law also provides that the total fee payable to all retained private attorneys in any matter that is the subject of a contingency fee contract shall not exceed $10 million. Furthermore, contingency fees shall only be payable from moneys received from judgments or settlement agreements and shall be based on any amount attributable to a fine or civil penalty. This act repeals these provisions. This act is identical to SB 600 (2023). KATIE O'BRIEN
