The Senate and the Assembly on Monday, in the last voting day of the legislative session, passed bills that would criminalize the solicitation of accident victims by attorneys and other professionals, upgrade the penalties for the unauthorized practice of law and allow judges to waive the suspension of professional licenses in child support cases.
