Enacts the "sunshine in litigation act" regarding protective orders

This bill, known as the "Sunshine in Litigation Act," aims to increase transparency in legal cases by preventing courts from issuing orders that hide information about public safety hazards. It defines a public hazard as any condition that has caused injury or poses a future risk, while also clarifying that trade secrets unrelated to such hazards remain protected. The law declares unenforceable any contracts or agreements that attempt to conceal information about public hazards, and it grants individuals and news media the right to challenge court orders that block the release of safety-related data. Additionally, the bill requires that settlement agreements involving government entities which contain information about public hazards be treated as public records subject to disclosure.
