Limits amount of appeal bond in civil actions to $50 million.

This bill limits the total appeal bond required in civil cases to $50 million (or the judgment amount, whichever is lower), directly affecting defendants appealing monetary judgments. It caps the combined bond amount for all appellants in a single case, while allowing courts to reduce the bond further if justified. The bill includes an exception permitting full judgment-level bonds if an appellee proves the appellant is hiding assets to avoid payment. It applies immediately to all judgments entered after its effective date, regardless of when the case was filed.
