This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary

However, existing law, until July 1, 2010, provides that if the parties have not settled the matter, the association or its assignee may file a complaint in superior court, as provided.

(2) Existing law specifies various uniform fees for filing specified documents in connection with certain civil proceedings. The fee for filing in the superior court an application to appear as counsel pro hac vice is $250. This bill would increase the fee for filing in the superior court an application to appear as counsel pro hac vice to $500.
