What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill directs the Public Defender Board to establish a student loan payment

pilot program for private bar attorneys who accept public defender appointments.

The program would provide a payment to use to repay student loans of up to $20,000

per year for attorneys in counties with a population of 25,000 or less who agree to

accept at least 50 state public defender appointments per year. The bill provides

$250,000 GPR in each fiscal year of the 2017-19 biennium for the program.
