The Tennessee Supreme Court today issued three orders regarding the administration of the annual registration form and fee, the professional privilege tax and the interest on lawyers’ trust accounts (IOLTA) program. The first order amends Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 10 to make changes to the filing of the annual registration form, add a $5 fee for filing an annual registration by mail, clarify rules for active military, and require attorneys to complete all delinquent registration requirements before being reinstated. The second order amends Rule 9, Section 26 to make several changes to how the professional tax is administered. The third order amends Rule 43 to make changes to the process for seeking reinstatement from an administrative suspension for noncompliance with IOLTA requirements.
