AB 1525: Attorneys: discipline: sensitive services.
This bill adds a new section to the state's business and professions code. The new section relates to attorneys and aims to prevent the state from disciplining attorneys based on actions taken in other jurisdictions that are protected by law. The bill defines "sensitive services" as services that are protected by law, such as those involving minors, vulnerable adults, or individuals with disabilities. The new section states that an attorney cannot be disciplined for actions taken in another jurisdiction if those actions are protected by law, and that the attorney is not required to report such actions to the state bar. The bill also makes it clear that the state bar cannot use such actions as grounds to deny admission to the state bar to an applicant.
