Plain-language change summary

The amendment changes the requirement for financial institutions during a bank execution to ensure that they leave the lesser of either the account balance or one thousand dollars in the judgment debtor's account. This matters because it provides a minimum safeguard for individuals by allowing them to retain a certain amount of funds in their accounts during such proceedings.
