Bill > AB2497

This bill makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing law regarding fees collected by the State Bar of California, which is the organization that licenses and regulates attorneys in the state. Specifically, it amends a section of the Business and Professions Code that allows the State Bar to collect a small annual fee from active and inactive attorneys, not exceeding $5.50 for active attorneys and $1.25 for inactive attorneys, to cover the actual costs of pilot programs designed to help attorneys with disciplinary issues. The bill adds the phrase "all of" to the list of items the State Bar must report to the Legislature by April 1, 2027, concerning the effectiveness and impact of these diversion programs.
