Mandates judgment creditors execute a user agreement, comply with federal data safeguard requirements (20 CFR 603.9), and pay initiation fees (up to $500), annual renewal fees (up to $200), and per-request processing fees.

Prohibits judgment creditors from using disclosed information for purposes other than satisfying the judgment or sharing it with other persons except as permitted by federal regulations.
