The State Bar of California’s Commission for the Revision of the Rules of Professional Conduct will hold a public hearing to receive testimony on the proposed new or amended Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of California which are currently circulating for public comment. The public comment period ends on September 27, 2016. The Rules are approved by the Supreme Court, the violation of which will subject an attorney to discipline (see Bus. & Prof. Code, § 6076, § 6077).
