Latest Text Digest

Existing law sets forth filing fees and other civil fees for superior courts. Existing law requires certain applicants to be granted initial permission to proceed without paying court fees and costs because of the applicant’s financial condition, including an applicant whose monthly income is 200% or less of the current poverty guidelines, as specified.

This bill would prohibit veterans disability service-connected compensation from being included in monthly income for purposes of that provision.
