Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 6140.05 — Revenue is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) At the election of the board, the invoice provided to licensees for payment of the annual license fee may provide each licensee the option of adding up to five dollars ($5) to the annual fee if the licensee elects to support lobbying and related activities by the State Bar outside of the parameters established by the United States Supreme Court in Keller v. State Bar of California (1990) 496 U.S. 1.
(b) For the support or defense of lobbying and related activities conducted by the State Bar on or after January 1, 2000, outside of the parameters of Keller v. State Bar of California, and in support or defense of any litigation arising therefrom, the Board of Trustees of the State Bar shall not expend a sum exceeding the amount paid by licensees pursuant to the optional increase for lobbying and related activities, as set forth in subdivision (a).
(c) As used in this section, “lobbying and related activities by the State Bar” includes the consideration of measures by the Board of Trustees of the State Bar that are deemed outside the parameters established in Keller v. State Bar, the purview determination, lobbying and the preparation for lobbying of the measures, and any litigation in support or defense of that lobbying.
(d) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2023.
