Navigation Proposal would end prorated fees for members who join in the final quarter of the fiscal year
The Board of Governors, hoping to eliminate confusion, is considering a proposal to stop charging a prorated fee to new members who join in the final quarter of the fiscal year.
Most new Florida Bar members join either in the first quarter of the fiscal year, or the final quarter, Bar records show.
Some members who join in the final quarter are going delinquent in the next fiscal year because they recently paid a prorated fee and didn’t realize it was not for the following full year , according to a staff analysis.
