Bill Summary
Members of the Virginia State Bar; rules and regulations relating to schedule of fees. Eliminates the annual fee cap that an attorney member of the Virginia State Bar may be required to pay pursuant to any rules and regulations promulgated related to fixing a schedule of fees. Under current law, such cap is $250.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend a section of the Code of Virginia concerning fees for members of the Virginia State Bar, which is the organization that regulates attorneys in the state. Specifically, it seeks to remove the existing limit of $250 that an attorney member can be required to pay annually as part of the fee schedule established by the Supreme Court for administering the relevant article of law. This means that the Supreme Court would no longer be restricted by this cap when setting annual fees for attorneys.
