HB 2106 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 12-1598.10 regarding continuing liens on earnings in garnishment proceedings.

• Extends the period for determining when a continuing lien becomes invalid for school employees from 60 days to 90 days if the employee is subject to an employment contract with paydays restricted to the school year (applies to school districts, charter schools, Arizona state schools for the deaf and blind, and accommodation schools).

• Changes grammatical language from "per cent" to "percent" throughout the statute.

• Changes pronoun reference from "his" to "the judgment debtor's" for gender-neutral language.

• Maintains existing provisions allowing courts to reduce garnishment withholding from 25 percent to a minimum of 15 percent based on clear and convincing evidence of extreme economic hardship.
