The bill SB1214 amends Arizona law to require the Arizona Supreme Court to allow members of the Arizona State Bar to earn credit for their annual continuing legal education (CLE) requirements when they attend a continuing education program that fulfills a state agency license renewal requirement. This credit can be granted if the program meets specific criteria, including being an organized learning program, directly related to law, following an agenda, and providing substantive written materials or exercises.

Additionally, the bill defines "state agency license renewal requirement" as the continuing education needed to maintain or renew a professional license issued by a state agency, board, commission, or department. This new provision aims to streamline the process for attorneys to meet both their CLE and state licensing requirements simultaneously, thereby enhancing their professional development while ensuring compliance with state regulations.
