Relates to the attorney licensing fund

This bill requires individuals taking the bar examination to pay their fees directly into the state attorney licensing fund rather than the general treasury. The legislation updates the state finance law to formally establish this fund under the joint custody of the state comptroller and the commissioner of taxation and finance. All money collected from bar applicants will be used to cover the costs of administering the exam, evaluating candidate fitness, and managing attorney disciplinary programs. The changes take effect immediately upon passage.
