IN RE AMENDMENTS TO RULES OF THE SUPREME COURT RELATING TO ADMISSIONS TO THE BAR

PER CURIAM.

This matter is before the Court for consideration of proposed amendments to the Rules of the Supreme Court Relating to Admissions to the Bar. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 15, Fla. Const.

At the Court’s request, the Florida Board of Bar Examiners (Board) has filed this petition to amend rule 4-22 (Part A), of the Rules of the Supreme Court Relating to Admissions to the Bar (Bar Admission Rules). Rule 4-22 describes the components of “Part A” or the Florida-prepared portion of the General Bar Examination, which is administered to individuals who seek admission to The Florida Bar.1 The amendments at issue in this *1145case incorporate recommendations from the Florida Board of Bar Examiners Testing Commission (Commission), the Board, and the Court. The Board has unanimously approved the amendments proposed. The amendments were also published in the July 1, 2010, edition of The Florida Bar News for comment; none were received.

Upon consideration, we amend Rule 4-22 (Part A) as follows. In the opening paragraph of the rule, the Court amends the citations to the Rules of Judicial Administration to reflect the correct rule numbers.2 The opening paragraph is also amended to increase, from two to three, the number of subjects that may be tested in each of five segments in Part A of the General Bar Exam. Additionally, subsection (c) is renamed “business entities,” to eliminate the specific reference to corporations and partnerships and to broaden the topics that can be tested within this subject. Subsection (i), which currently refers to criminal law, is amended to include the new subjects of constitutional criminal procedure and juvenile delinquency. A new subsection (k) is added to include as a test subject Articles 3 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code; the subsections that follow (k) are re-lettered accordingly. Subsection (l), formerly subsection (k), which currently lists family law, is amended to include the new subject of dependency. Finally, new subsection (o) is added to include the new subject of professionalism.

Accordingly, we amend the Rules of the Supreme Court Relating to Admissions to the Bar as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. The new language is indicated by underscoring; deletions are indicated by struek-through type. These amendments shall take effect immediately upon the release of this opinion and will apply prospectively only, except that the amendments to subsections (c), (i), (k), (l), and (o), which add new test subjects, shall take effect two years from the date of this opinion.

It is so ordered.

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