Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to SB 1435 clarify that the Arizona State Bar must cover not only attorney fees but also losses in earnings and any related court costs during attorney discipline investigations. This amendment ensures that attorneys facing discipline are compensated for their costs, making the process more equitable for them. This matters because it helps protect attorneys from financial hardship while they navigate potentially challenging disciplinary processes.
