ADVERTISEMENT FOR CERTAIN LEGAL MONEY AMOUNTS

HB 307 requires attorneys and law firms to disclose their fees when advertising settlement or judgment amounts in civil cases. If an ad mentions a client received a monetary award (e.g., "$50,000 settlement"), it must also state the fee the client paid for the legal services. Violations incur a $500 civil penalty per ad, enforced by the attorney general or district attorney, with collected fines deposited into the school fund. The law takes effect on July 1, 2027.
