An ad hoc committee focused on the future of the State Bar of Arizona is set to meet Oct. 19.
The committee’s formation comes after another legislative session in which lawmakers tried to dismantle the Bar, which regulates lawyers.
Rep. Anthony Kern, a Glendale Republican, is leading the committee and in the last session introduced HB2629, a measure that would have freed attorneys from required membership in the Bar and turned over attorney regulation to the Arizona Supreme Court.
