The bill SB1214 amends the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding section 12-112.01, which pertains to the Supreme Court. The bill requires the Supreme Court to allow members of the Arizona State Bar to earn credit towards their annual continuing legal education (CLE) requirement by attending continuing education programs that also fulfill state agency license renewal requirements. To qualify for CLE credit, the program must be an organized learning experience, directly related to law, follow an agenda, and be accompanied by relevant written materials or exercises.

The bill also defines "state agency license renewal requirement" as the necessary continuing education that a person must complete to maintain or renew a professional license issued by a state agency, board, commission, or department. This legislation aims to streamline the process for legal professionals to meet their educational and licensing obligations simultaneously. The bill becomes effective on the general effective date.
