What changed in the latest version
47 added · 37 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendments to Bill SB 2310 increase the disclosure fee for garnishment proceedings from $25 to $40. This change applies when a plaintiff serves a garnishee summons, requiring them to pay a higher fee to the state’s Office of Management and Budget for processing. Additionally, the amendments allow for optional electronic service methods that do not require disclosure fees. This matters because it could streamline the garnishment process while increasing state funding from these fees.
