The admission of the nonresident attorney under § 16-16-7.3 will allow the attorney to practice in the courts or administrative agencies of this state solely in the capacity as a member of the legal aid bureau or public defender agency by whom he or she is employed. The nonresident attorney shall not receive compensation from the person on whose behalf he or she renders services, but this shall not prevent the legal aid bureau or public defender agency from paying compensation to the attorney nor shall it prevent any agency from making such charges for its services as it may otherwise properly require.
