MINOR
The bill was finalized for signing (Enrolled) from its previous draft stage (Engrossed). The substantive policy regarding court fee waivers for indigent applicants remains unchanged, but the text now includes a specific provision allowing courts to waive 50% of assessments for applicants with income between 250% and 300% of the poverty level, provided they cannot pay without undue hardship.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; this is a procedural update reflecting the final version ready for the Governor's signature.
