To amend Article 1 of Chapter 19 of Title 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to attorneys generally, so as to prohibit the inclusion of Georgia-specific content on all future Georgia bar examinations for attorney licensure; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

Article 1 of Chapter 19 of Title 15 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to attorneys generally, is amended by revising Code Section 15-19-3, relating to rules governing examinations, as follows:

"15-19-3.

(a) The Justices of the Supreme Court shall be authorized to make and adopt rules as to the making of application to take an examination and as to the time, manner, and places of holding examinations for admission to the bar of this state and are specifically authorized to provide for the holding of the examinations under the supervision of the Board of Bar Examiners at not more than three cities, under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by them. They may provide for the examination to be held over such period of days as in their judgment shall be fair to the applicant for examination. There shall be held not less than two examinations during each calendar year, the date or dates of which shall be fixed by the Justices of the Supreme Court.

(b) Nothing in this Code section shall be construed as limiting applicants for admission to the bar to college trained persons, except as provided by law.

(c) On and after July 1, 2025, examinations for admission to the bar of this state shall not include content specific to the laws of this state."

SECTION 2.
