- Comments invited on proposed changes to MCLE Rules and Regulations
The OSB Board of Governors (BOG) is seeking member feedback on proposed amendments to the MCLE rules that would shift the compliance deadlines by four months. The new deadline for completing credits would be April 30, and the deadline for filing compliance reports would be May 31. The change would assist OSB members whose practices have been impacted by COVID-19 this year, and also provide efficiencies in future years. Please send your comments to feedback@osbar.org by September 1, 2020.
