Does the FDA require counties to adopt formal procedures for determining whether a defendant is indigent?
Yes. The judges in each county are required to adopt written countywide procedures and financial standards for determining whether a defendant is indigent. These procedures and financial standards must apply to each defendant in the county equally, regardless of whether the defendant is in custody or released on bail.
