This bill increases the reimbursement fee that plaintiffs must pay to a garnishee (the person or business holding a debtor's money) for preparing a garnishment disclosure from $15 to $40. The fee increase applies whenever a garnishment case proceeds and the garnishee provides the required disclosure documents to the plaintiff.
The reimbursement fee for garnishment disclosure preparation was reduced from fifty to forty dollars, and payment timing was clarified to occur upon receipt of the garnishee's disclosure.
