A communication from the Committee for Public Counsel Services (see item 0321-1599 of Section 2 of Chapter 14 of the Acts of 2025) submitting its staffing expansion plan for fiscal years 2026 and 2027

HD 5099 is a procedural communication from the Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS), not a legislative bill. It submits CPCS's staffing expansion plan for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, detailing proposed hires of attorneys to support their operations. This plan directly affects CPCS staff and the indigent defendants they represent, as it outlines how the agency will expand its legal workforce. The submission is a routine procedural step to inform the legislature about staffing needs, not a new law.
