Relating to the minimum continuing legal education requirements for an attorney serving as a state official appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate.

HB 5570 exempts attorneys working in specific state legislative or oversight roles from the standard minimum continuing legal education (CLE) requirements. It applies to attorneys employed full-time by the Texas Senate, House of Representatives, their committees, the Texas Legislative Council, Legislative Budget Board, Legislative Reference Library, State Auditor's office, or Sunset Advisory Commission. It also exempts attorneys serving as state officials appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate. The exemption applies only to CLE compliance years ending on or after September 1, 2025, with existing rules continuing for prior years. This is a procedural change to state bar rules, not a new requirement.
