	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1024, Gonzalez. Attorneys: admission to practice.
   Existing law authorizes the Supreme Court to admit an applicant as
an attorney at law in all the courts of the state, upon
certification by the examining committee of the State Bar of
California that the applicant has fulfilled the requirements for
admission to practice law, as specified.
   This bill would additionally authorize the Supreme Court to admit
to the practice of law an applicant who is not lawfully present in
the United States, upon certification by the committee that the
applicant has fulfilled those requirements for admission, as
specified.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 6064 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   6064.  (a) Upon certification by the examining committee that the
applicant has fulfilled the requirements for admission to practice
law, the Supreme Court may admit the applicant as an attorney at law
in all the courts of this state and may direct an order to be entered
upon its records to that effect. A certificate of admission
thereupon shall be given to the applicant by the clerk of the court.
   (b) Upon certification by the examining committee that an
applicant who is not lawfully present in the United States has
fulfilled the requirements for admission to practice law, the Supreme
Court may admit that applicant as an attorney at law in all the
courts of this state and may direct an order to be entered upon its
records to that effect. A certificate of admission thereupon shall be
given to the applicant by the clerk of the court.
