AZ HB2174

Allows Arizona attorneys licensed to practice law to issue writs of garnishment without court involvement, provided specific conditions are met.

Limits attorney-issued garnishment writs to cases where the judgment amount is $5,000 or less.

Requires attorneys to serve the debtor with notice at least 10 days before issuing the garnishment writ.

Requires the garnishee (entity holding debtor's funds) to respond to the writ within 10 days and comply with existing statutory requirements for answers.

Allows parties to object to the writ or the garnishee's answer by filing a written objection and request for hearing in the court that issued the original judgment.
