The proposed bill would amend current statutes by adding certified legal document preparers to the list of professionals required to earn continuing legal education (CLE) credits when they attend continuing education programs that fulfill state agency license renewal requirements. Specifically, it would insert language to state that both members of the state bar and certified legal document preparers must earn credit for their respective annual CLE activity requirements when participating in such programs, provided that the programs meet certain criteria.

Additionally, the bill would make conforming changes to ensure consistency in the language used throughout the statute. The current law remains unchanged except for these insertions, which clarify the obligations of certified legal document preparers alongside those of state bar members regarding continuing education credits.
