480.243 CLIENT ELIGIBILITY; RECEIPT OF OTHER FUNDS.
    Subdivision 1. Committee eligibility guidelines. The Supreme Court, with the advice of the
advisory committee, shall establish guidelines in the form of court rules to be used by recipients
to determine the eligibility of individuals and organizations for legal services provided with funds
received pursuant to section 480.242. The guidelines shall be designed solely to assist recipients
in determining whether an individual or organization is able to afford or secure legal assistance
from private counsel with respect to the particular matter for which assistance is requested.
    Subd. 2. Receipt of other funds by recipients. Nothing in this section shall be construed
to prohibit a recipient from soliciting and accepting other public or private funds to be used for
the provision of legal services in civil matters to persons who are not eligible clients, and the
guidelines established pursuant to subdivision 1 shall not apply to the use of other funds.
