The bill lets government lawyers voluntarily provide free legal help to poor and marginalized people, as long as they get written permission from their agency head, avoid conflicts with the government, and do not use government resources. In return, participating lawyers can receive a tax credit of up to 10 % of their salary and may be recognized with awards.
