H 646 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

LITIGATION FINANCING TRANSPARENCY – Adds to existing law to establish the Litigation Financing Transparency, National Security, and Consumer Protection Act.

Idaho's H 646 establishes the "Litigation Financing Transparency, National Security, and Consumer Protection Act" to regulate how lawsuits are funded. It requires litigation financiers (entities providing lawsuit funding) to register with the state and disclose financing contracts to courts, ensuring plaintiffs and courts know who is funding legal claims. The bill specifically prohibits foreign adversaries (as defined by federal regulations) from funding lawsuits in Idaho and restricts foreign entities from influencing cases. These rules directly affect plaintiffs, law firms, and foreign entities seeking to fund litigation within Idaho, aiming to increase transparency and protect against national security risks.
