HB 626 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Foreign Third-Party Litigation Funders; require disclosure to the Attorney General.

HB 626 requires foreign third-party litigation funders (entities based outside the U.S. that provide funding for civil cases) to disclose specific details to Mississippi's Attorney General within 30 days of signing funding agreements. This includes the name, address, and country of origin for any foreign entity with a financial stake tied to case outcomes or access to sensitive information. The law targets funders whose sources include "foreign entities of concern" (such as those linked to governments of designated countries or terrorist organizations), aiming to increase transparency around foreign influence in civil litigation. It does not apply to regular law firms, health insurers, or nonprofit legal aid organizations.
