IN RE AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE FOR RESOLVING PROFESSIONALISM COMPLAINTS

PER CURIAM.

The Court, on its own motion, amends the Code for Resolving Professionalism Complaints (Code). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 15, Fla. Const.

We amend the provisions in the Code addressing the “Standards of Professionalism” to replace references to “The Florida Bar Ideals and Goals of Professionalism” with “The Florida Bar Professionalism Expectations.” The Chair of The Florida Bar Standing Committee on Professionalism informed the Court that the Professionalism Expectations, which were approved by The Florida Bar Board of Governors on January 30, 2015, replaced the Ideals and Goals of Professionalism referenced in the Code.

*996Accordingly, the Code for Resolving Professionalism Complaints is amended as set forth in the appendix to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring; deletions are indicated by struck-through type. The amendments shall become effective immediately upon the release of this opinion. Because the amendments were not previously published for comment, interested persons shall have sixty days from the date of this opinion in which to file comments with the Court.1

It is so ordered.

LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
