It amends UTCR 3.170(6) to increase the pro hac vice application fee from $500 to $750 dollars, effective January 1, 2026. At the fall 2025 meeting, the proponent provided testimony explaining the need for the fee increase as follows.

Increasing the fee to $750 reflects inflationary increases and aligns the fee with the current administrative costs associated with processing pro hac vice applications. According to Consumer Price…
