Under the measure, attorney fees for any legal matter would be subject to the laws in effect on January 1, 1995. Any changes to these state laws by the Legislature would also require a vote of the electorate, unless the changes further the purposes of the measure, in which case they could be enacted by a two-thirds vote of each house. The measure also enacts into law existing State Bar rules prohibiting attorneys from collecting excessive fees, and provides that clients can sue attorneys to recover fees that have been found to be excessive by the court. The measure enacts into law criteria for determining whether a fee is excessive. The criteria are similar to those currently used by the State Bar. Finally, the measure requires that a court impose sanctions against an attorney if the court determines that the attorney has filed a frivolous legal action.
