Require a prevailing party seeking attorney fees from the state to make certain showings

HB 706 aimed to revise the requirements for parties seeking attorney fees after prevailing in a lawsuit against the state government. It would have required these parties to provide an engagement letter, daily documentation of work performed with detailed time entries, and invoices submitted within 60 days of work. Additionally, proof of payment of these invoices within 30 days of receipt would have been necessary. These specific requirements would not have applied to prevailing parties whose combined income and assets did not exceed $250,000.
