relating to: changing the name

3legislation by the Director of State Courts).
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
In 2000, the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) was created to replace the staff
of the Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility (BAPR), but the title of the
appropriation for BAPR was not changed. This bill changes the name of this
appropriation to reflect the proper title of the OLR.

Committee of the Joint Legislative Council.
