HB 898 Unauthorized practice of law.

Introduced by: James H. Dillard, II | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Unauthorized practice of law. Excludes the payment of debts by an organization on behalf of debtors, without any contact or negotiation with the creditors, from the definition of debt-pooling plan and, therefore, not the unauthorized practice of law. Currently, a debt-pooling plan (the furnishing of advice or services for compensation to a debtor in connection with a plan pursuant to which the debtor deposits funds for the purpose of distributing them among his creditors) is deemed the unauthorized practice of law unless done by nonprofit agencies.
