Bill > HB276

This bill, by amending Section 54.1-3912 of the Code of Virginia, proposes to increase the maximum annual fee that an attorney member of the Virginia State Bar can be required to pay from $250 to $350. The Virginia State Bar is the professional organization for lawyers in Virginia, and these fees are collected to help administer the laws and regulations governing the legal profession in the Commonwealth. The Supreme Court of Virginia has the authority to establish the specific schedule of fees, and this change would adjust the upper limit of what can be charged annually to each attorney.
