The Bar Board of Governors has been briefed on proposed Bar rule amendments from the Task Force on the Distribution of IOTA Funds, including that the Supreme Court is now seeking comments on the rule changes.

Former Bar President Mayanne Downs, chair of the task force, presented its recommendations to the court at the board’s interim November 16 meeting.

That discussion included deadlines for commenting on the amendments, whether the board should take a position, and a separate proposal from public board member Jody Hudgins to boost interest payments by banks on IOTA funds.
