§ 6046.7

California Business and Professions Code · 2026 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, the examining committee shall be responsible for the approval, regulation, and oversight of degree-granting unaccredited law schools that meet both of the following:

(1) Award the juris doctor (J.D.) professional degree in California.

(2) Are not approved by the American Bar Association or the Committee of Bar Examiners.

(b) The Committee of Bar Examiners shall assess and collect a fee from unaccredited law schools in an amount sufficient to fund the regulatory and oversight responsibilities imposed by this section. Nothing in this subdivision precludes the board of trustees from using other funds or fees collected by the State Bar or by the examining committee to supplement the funding of the regulatory and oversight responsibilities imposed by this section with other funds, if that supplemental funding is deemed necessary and appropriate to mitigate some of the additional costs of the regulation and oversight to facilitate the provision of a legal education at an affordable cost.

(Amended by Stats. 2024, Ch. 227, Sec. 6. (AB 3279) Effective January 1, 2025.)
