COURTS: Constitutional amendment to provide for jurisdiction of courts. (2/3 - CA13s1(A)) (Item #20) (EN SEE FISC NOTE See Note)

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to expand the definition of who is considered an attorney within the state's legal system. It directly affects individuals who are not currently licensed in the state but practice law or offer legal services there, as well as lawyers specially admitted for specific cases. The key mechanism involves deleting existing text and inserting language that explicitly includes these out-of-state practitioners and specially admitted attorneys in the state's definition of a lawyer. This change aims to clarify the jurisdictional scope of courts regarding legal representation without altering the core structure of court operations.
