Repeals certain provisions relating to contingency fee contracts with private attorneys retained by the state

SB 1413 would repeal existing state laws that permitted government agencies to hire private attorneys under contingency fee contracts (where lawyers are paid only if they win a case). This directly affects state agencies that retain outside legal counsel, as it would eliminate their ability to use this payment structure. The bill removes specific provisions governing these contracts, requiring agencies to seek alternative payment methods for legal services. The change would take effect if enacted, altering how the state manages legal hiring for certain cases.
