issues related to determinations of indigency, the justices
appointed a committee on indigency in January 2015. The committee
met throughout 2015 to consider and revise the proposed amendments
and now solicits comments on its recommendations for
amendments.
The committee will make its recommendation with respect to Rule
3:10 to the justices of the Supreme Judicial Court following
receipt and review of public comments. Comments should be directed
