Qué contiene
Resumen con IA State lawmakers would gain a guaranteed right to join any lawsuit that challenges whether a law is legal or constitutional. If they choose to participate, they can ask the attorney general for help or hire their own private lawyers at their own expense. This change allows them to defend the laws they passed directly in court. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

This bill relates to a general assembly member’s right to intervene in a court action. The bill provides that in any court action in which the constitutionality, legality, or interpretation of a statute is at issue, a member or members of the general assembly shall have an unconditional right to intervene as a party in the action and shall be deemed to have proper standing in the action. The bill provides that a member or members of the general assembly desiring to intervene shall have an unconditional right to intervene as a party and any subsequent member or group of members shall have a conditional right to intervene. The bill provides that the only defense that may be raised to a motion to intervene as of right under the bill is that the proposed intervenor does not have a good faith intention to defend the law. The bill allows the member or members of the general assembly to request to be represented by the attorney general if the attorney general is not already representing a party to the action. If the member or members of the general assembly engage a private attorney, no public moneys shall be expended for attorney fees. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to actions pending or filed on or after the effective date of the bill.
