It requires an indigent to submit an application to the court clerk, signed under oath, and pay a nonrefundable application fee of $40. The court may defer the fee if the person lacks financial resources. The court must advise the indigent of the oath and potential prosecution for false statements. A copy of the application is sent to the prosecuting attorney or the Office of the Attorney General.
