MINOR

This bill was converted from a regular version to a substitute version introduced by the Judiciary Committee, with one substantive policy change that adds court discretion to the compensation cap for legal counsel. The original bill capped total compensation at 5% of sums received by the receiver, while the substitute version allows courts to order higher amounts if justified.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on regulating compensation for counsel in receivership proceedings, but the enforcement mechanism for compensation limits was modified to give courts more flexibility.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the compensation cap from a strict 5% limit to a flexible standard where courts may order higher amounts if circumstances warrant it, giving judges discretion in approving legal fees.

TECHNICAL

Added 'SUB' designation to the bill title and page headers, indicating this is a substitute version introduced by the Judiciary Committee rather than the original version.
