A proposed rule change from the California State Bar

Each active licensed attorney of the State Bar for whom the State Bar does not currently have fingerprint images shall, pursuant to the procedure identified by the State Bar, submit fingerprint images to the Department of Justice for the purpose of obtaining criminal offender record information regarding state and federal level convictions and arrests. Inactive licensed attorneys for whom the State Bar does not have fingerprint images must submit fingerprint images to the Department of Justice prior to seeking active status.

The State Bar shall request from the Department of Justice subsequent arrest notification service for its active licensed attorneys, pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 6054.
