Summary

The bill changes how judgment creditors must verify a debtor's address, extending the filing deadline and allowing more methods of verification, and it removes the need to serve wage‑garnishment notices on the employee. It also creates a process for creditors to ask a court to reinstate liens on real or personal property that were released after a judgment was thought to be satisfied. These updates affect creditors, debtors, levying officers, and employers by simplifying enforcement and clarifying exemption procedures.
