HB1179 — modify provisions related to the reimbursement fee for preparation of a garnishment disclosure.
What changed between bill versions as it moved through the Legislature.
The amendment narrows the bill's scope by changing it from a straightforward fee increase to a more conditional reimbursement structure—the garnishee fee is now only owed "upon receipt by the plaintiff of the garnishee's garnishment disclosure" rather than being automatically due, and the fee amount was reduced from fifty dollars to forty dollars. This redirects the bill from simply raising the reimbursement cost to modifying when and under what conditions that fee applies.
