Relating to procurement of a contingent fee contract for legal services by certain governmental entities.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
SB 1821 would clarify that the definition of a contingent fee contract includes an amendment to an existing contingent fee contract that changes the scope of the lawyer’s representation or may result in the filing of an action or amending of a petition in an action.
