Per last week's announcement, Representative Anthony Kern, chief sponsor of HB2629^[1], the voluntary state bar bill, is chairing an Ad Hoc Study Committee of House Members and Arizona State Bar members to examine the history and role of a mandatory bar association in Arizona as well as the practice in other states. The study committee will create a report along with possible recommendations for proposed legislation. This is a public meeting. Find below the agenda for the first meeting on Monday, October 19, 2015 at 2 PM in House Hearing Room 1.
