Removes language providing that no fee shall be imposed against an indigent person who is, in the discretion of the court, unable to proceed in an action without payment of fees, costs, and charges and whose payment of those fees, costs, and charges would result in substantial hardship to the person or his or her family. Provides that no fee shall be imposed against an indigent person who is otherwise unable to pay the fee because it would cause substantial hardship to the person. Makes conforming changes.
