Recommendation for Legislative Action
To provide itself sufficient time to review the discipline report before considering the annual fee bill the Legislature should, in the year in which it amends the discipline report's time period, require the State Bar to report information for both the prior calendar year and the newly defined period to ensure that stakeholders can compare the information for the newly defined period to prior years.
Description of Legislative Action
SB 211 (Chapter 723, Statutes of 2021) requires the Annual Discipline Report due on October 31, 2022, to include data from the prior fiscal and calendar year.
