The D.C. Bar Regulations/Rules/Board Procedures Committee has issued a report to the Board of Governors recommending several changes to the Bar’s dues billing process.

The committee concluded that a number of procedural changes would increase the timely payment of dues and provide more clarity to the membership about the consequences of nonpayment as well as the necessary steps for resignation or reinstatement following suspension. The committee also recommended the Bar continue its policy of allowing retroactive reinstatement of a suspended member only in the case of Bar error. Summaries of the committee's recommendations can be found on pages 2-4 and 48-49 of the report.

Members are invited to comment on the report until May 5. Send comments to Report-Comments@dcbar.org.
