Third-party litigation funding lets outside investors profit off U.S. lawsuits while potentially avoiding U.S. taxes altogether—leaving American businesses, consumers, and taxpayers to absorb the costs.
Congress should close the TPLF tax loophole and restore accountability.

Victor Gomez, Executive Director of @CACALA, explains how California’s lawsuit environment pressures small businesses into costly ADA settlements that do little to improve accessibility. There is an urgent need for reform to stop this exploitative cycle. Listen in @CA_Insider👇

A California gas station owner believed his newer store was fully compliant with ADA standards. Then he received a demand letter over a ramp that was off by just 1%.
This kind of situation is playing out for small businesses across the state every week. A Thread 🧵(1/4)

CALA Executive Director Victor Gomez joined @CA_Insider to discuss how abusive ADA lawsuits are hurting California small businesses and why #SB84 would create a fair “notice and cure” process before costly litigation.

Jaime Huff, President and CEO of @CivilJusticeCA, released the following statement after the Senate Judiciary Committee held #SB982 (Wiener), a deeply flawed proposal that would have driven up costs, destabilized California’s fuel market and made life even harder for families already struggling under the state’s affordability crisis:
“Senators drew a hard line for their constituents, stopping a reckless bill that would have driven up costs and risked fuel shortages and gas lines. Californians need affordability relief, not more economic self-sabotage.”

"By encouraging quick fixes instead of quick lawsuits, SB84 advances accessibility, preserves legitimate enforcement, and restores faith in a system that too often feels rigged against small biz." @1victorgomez @CACALA @SenRogerNiello #CALeg

Los Angeles was just named the number one #JudicialHellhole in the country - and Californians are paying an annual $2,500 lawsuit tax due to billboard lawyers' weaponization of the judicial system.
If lawmakers are serious about lowering costs on everyday goods - like groceries and gas - they need to tackle lawsuit abuse.

Fantastic press conference this morning on SB84! Thank you to @RogerNiello and co-authors for your leadership. We urge the Assembly Judiciary Committee and Assemblymember Ash Kalra to hear the bill ASAP! No more stalling! youtu.be/QVteViboc-Y

Proud to be a co-author of #SB84, by @SenRogerNiello, and join with supporters today to call on @Ash_Kalra and the Assembly Judiciary Committee to set the bill for a hearing. SB 84 is a pragmatic solution to a big problem, and it has broad bipartisan support. The bill would give small businesses 120 days to fix an ADA issue before a lawsuit is filed. @SDChamber
