HB 2593 and SB 462 bring transparency to government litigation and make sure wrongdoers can’t profit from the courts.

These bills are a win for Kansans.

Authorities say two people staged a car crash & three others billed a Miami clinic for injuries that never happened. Thousands of dollars allegedly stolen.

These fraudulent schemes raise premiums for every honest Floridian & put innocent drivers at risk. https://t.co/UgXuuSMazl

Michigan just took a step towards litigation funding transparency. HB 5281, which passed the House, would require disclosure when outside investors bankroll lawsuits.

No more shadow cash. No more secret deals. Just transparency.

We welcome @GovernorVA’s veto of HB 449 & SB 229. VA has long avoided class actions in state courts, keeping litigation fair, predictable & stable while protecting individual claims. Check out our coalition letter with the VA Chamber here: https://t.co/H9yW4fAwzf

Do you know what happens when truckers face frivolous lawsuits? You might be paying a "hidden lawsuit tax." Costs rise and consumers foot the bill.

Tennessee is cracking down on shadowy third-party litigation funding. HB 2108 pulls back the curtain on TPLF, requiring funder disclosure and blocking foreign adversaries from financing lawsuits.

Less secrecy, lower costs, fairer courts. https://t.co/MxnmMhHI72

Did you know bad actors orchestrate these “staged collisions” to manufacture frivolous lawsuits and insurance payouts? And that businesses and consumers are left footing the bill?

Witness testimony should be based on expertise, not financial stakes in a case outcome. HB 437, which passed the Louisiana House, bans outcome-based pay for experts & boosts transparency in the courts.

Imagine being a business owner and getting hit with a lawsuit for an issue totally outside of your control. This is how trial lawyers are contorting public nuisance law across the country.

At the @MilkenInstitute Global Conference, @USChamber President and CEO Suzanne Clark highlighted how billboard attorneys and frivolous litigation drive up costs for everyday Americans.

[U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform @LegalReform]

Litigation already costs American families roughly $4,200 annually through higher prices from the grocery store to the roof over their heads. Third-party litigation funding accelerates this trend.

Third-party litigation funding has grown into a massive enterprise run by foreign investors, foreign governments, and specialized hedge funds that view America’s courtrooms as just another place to turn a profit while everyday Americans pay the price. (1/2)

America’s one-of-a-kind tort system generates many perverse incentives, but this one takes the cake: Foreign investors receive special tax treatment for financing lawsuits against American companies, writes Michael Toth

TPLF reform is critical to restoring fairness in our legal system. ILR’s Page Faulk joined a panel at RISKWORLD 2026 on how TPLF fuels outsized, unjust awards and how to curb the funding’s influence.

Thanks to @RIMSorg for including ILR in the dialogue.

[U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform @LegalReform]

Momentum is building nationwide to address third-party litigation funding. States are pushing for transparency and oversight of this largely unregulated industry. And it's about time.

[U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform @LegalReform]

When anonymous financiers are allowed to operate in the shadows, pulling the strings behind litigation, they’re the only ones who win.

Property-casualty insurance costs fell 14.5% for policyholders in Florida compared to what they would've been without reform.

Florida’s progress is proof that cutting frivolous litigation puts money back in consumers’ pockets.

ICYMI: There’s a hidden tax you may not have noticed on your tax forms this year: the cost of frivolous lawsuits. @stephenwags’ op-ed exposes how lawsuits drain $4,200 from American households annually, eroding family incomes & business bottom lines.

New Yorkers pay $1,500/yr more in auto insurance than the national average. How? Staged crashes, fake injuries & a system that rewards fraud.

This system raises costs for everyone.

Illinois has become a hotspot for excessive lawsuits and inflated payouts. The IL Coalition for Legal Reform’s Katie Reilly joined @DougWagner to discuss ILR’s research on IL’s legal environment and why reform is critical for consumers and businesses. https://t.co/i9SbZR1T3a

Tax Day came and went, but there’s a hidden cost that wasn’t on any of your forms.
