Bill overview
Senate Bill 1148 clarifies the Supreme Court’s authority and responsibilities regarding attorney licensing in Arizona. The bill establishes that the Supreme Court alone will license attorneys and create the rules governing the process. These rules will include minimum qualifications, testing requirements, background investigations, disciplinary actions, and potential disbarment. Importantly, the bill prohibits requiring attorneys to be members of non-governmental organizations to maintain their licenses.
