A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO EXEMPT LEGISLATIVE STAFF FROM CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Article 4 of Chapter 84 of the General Statutes is amended by adding after G.S. 84-23.1 a new section to read:
"§ 84-23.2.  Continuing legal education requirements.
The Council may adopt minimum continuing legal education requirements for attorneys.  The requirements may not, however, apply to full-time permanent employees of the General Assembly."
Sec. 2.  G.S. 84-36 reads as rewritten:
"§ 84-36. Court's power over attorneys.
The court may not require full-time permanent employees of the General Assembly to participate in continuing legal education programs.  Otherwise, this Article does not affect the inherent powers of the court to deal with its attorneys."
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.  To the extent that it conflicts with this act, any order previously issued by the court is void.
