This bill establishes provisions for legislative intervention in declaratory judgment actions, allowing legislative officers and primary sponsors who voted for the passage and approval of the relevant legislation to intervene in such cases. The intent is to ensure that those directly involved in the legislative process have the opportunity to defend the laws they supported when challenged in court.
Additionally, the bill includes an immediate effective date and specifies an applicability date, ensuring that the new rights to intervene are enacted without delay. This legislative change aims to enhance the role of lawmakers in judicial proceedings concerning the laws they have enacted.
