Archived: Governance in the Public Interest Task Force

California Business and Professions Code section 6001.2, which mandated this task force, was sunsetted in 2022, so the 2020 task force was the final one.

Purpose

Pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 6001.2, every three years the State Bar Board of Trustees is required to appoint a Governance in the Public Interest Task Force. The statutory purpose of the Task Force is “to prepare and submit a report to the Supreme Court, the Governor, and the Assembly and Senate Committees on Judiciary that includes its recommendations for enhancing the protection of the public and ensuring that protection of the public is the highest priority in the licensing, regulation, and discipline of attorneys.”

The 2020 Governance in the Public Interest Task Force focused on the topic of proactive regulation, which addresses ways of preventing problems before they have a chance to appear. The Task Force submitted its final report on May 15, 2020.
