Summary

The measure would require every state agency to obtain legal services from the attorney general’s office, except for a specific list of exempt agencies, and would give the AG authority to represent school districts, municipalities and political subdivisions in antitrust and related lawsuits. It also directs the AG to create a civil‑rights division, publish a handbook of agency laws, and allows the AG to settle or contract with other plaintiffs. The bill was vetoed by the governor.
