As amended through November 4, 2024
Section 6 - Annual Report
6.01. On or before February 28 of each year, the Commission shall prepare and send an Annual Report Statement to each attorney covered by this Rule requesting information concerning the attorney's compliance with Section 3.01 of this Rule in the preceding calendar year. The Annual Report Statement shall be mailed to the attorney's address as shown in the most recent registration statement filed by the attorney pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 10.1, or to the attorney's last known address as shown in the MCLE database. Service of the Annual Report Statement and any other notices required or provided for by this Rule upon any attorney may also be made by electronic means. All attorneys shall maintain a current e-mail address and provide updated information upon request from the Commission. Failure to receive the Annual Report, sent to the attorney's last known address, does not alleviate the attorney's obligation to satisfy the requirements set forth in this Rule, including the requirements of section 6.02.
6.02. On or before March 31st, each attorney shall complete the Annual Report Statement, indicating his or her completion of, exemption from, or approved substitute for accredited continuing legal education during the preceding calendar year, and shall deliver the completed Annual Report Statement to the Commission. The completed Annual Report Statement shall disclose all CLE hours earned during the preceding calendar year, including any hours to be carried forward to the following year. Any attorney whose Annual Report Statement demonstrates compliance with Section 3.01 of this Rule, and whose Annual Report Statement demonstrates that all fees due the Commission for the preceding calendar year have been paid, shall be exempt from the requirement to sign and deliver to the Commission the Annual Report Statement described herein. Any attorney who fails to meet the March 31st deadline who has not previously been assessed the one hundred dollar ($100.00) fee for the applicable compliance year shall be assessed the one hundred dollar ($100.00) fee on April 1st. The one hundred dollar ($100.00) fee shall be due and payable on April 1st.
6.03. The Annual Report Statement shall reflect any unpaid course reporting fees and any non-compliance fee assessed pursuant to Section 7.03 along with a schedule of additional penalties which will result from continued non-compliance.
6.04. The files and records of the Commission are deemed confidential and shall not be disclosed except in furtherance of the duties of the Commission; statistical abstracts may, however, be drawn therefrom in an anonymous fashion. [As amended by order filed December 16, 2014, effective January 1, 2016, Section 6 replaced in its entirety.]
