What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill amends the the statutes that describe the procedure for collecting

attorney's fees for defendants who have been determined to be indigent. It removes

the words “in part” from the description of indigency because defendants can be

found to be only indigent or not indigent, they cannot be found to be indigent “in

part.”
