Supreme Court of Florida

In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.140

January 9, 2025399 So. 3d 1094

Summary

The court declined to adopt the proposed complete reorganization of rule 2.140 and instead amended the existing rule to implement two recommendations from the Kiel report. The amendments make publication on The Florida Bar's website sufficient for committee-level notice, change the Board of Governors' role from mandatory voting to optional commenting, and clarify where no-action reports must be filed. The amendments become effective April 1, 2025, at 12:01 a.m.
