Trust Fund Interest for Purposes Approved by Supreme Court

Summary

The bill would let banks hold lawyers’ client‑fund trust accounts in interest‑bearing accounts and require the interest or dividends to be sent to an entity created by the Florida Supreme Court. That entity must use the earnings to provide free legal services to low‑income Floridians or other purposes the Court authorizes. The measure was vetoed by the governor.
