HB 2495 Summary

• Allows civil judgments in favor of the state to remain as liens on real property indefinitely, regardless of when the judgment was recorded, overriding the standard 10-year judgment lien duration.

• Extends the state's judgment lien to attach to homestead property, which is normally exempt from judgment liens, creating an exception to homestead exemption protections.

• Applies the state judgment lien provisions retroactively to all previously recorded state judgments without regard to recording date.

• Maintains standard 10-year judgment enforcement periods for private parties while creating indefinite enforcement rights exclusively for state civil judgments.
