Summary

The bill lets the Kentucky Supreme Court oversee the state bar and prohibits attorneys from being required to join or pay dues to any bar organization beyond admission and discipline fees unless they give written consent. It also forbids lawyers and referral services from directly contacting recent accident or disaster victims—or their families—to seek representation for 30 days, and makes violations a Class A misdemeanor with possible court discipline.
