AI Summary

  • Allows execution against debts owed by financial institutions to judgment debtors who are natural persons, with exceptions for debts protected under existing exemption statutes and federal law.

  • Requires judgment creditors to pay a $75 fee to the court clerk when requesting execution against financial institutions, which is recoverable as a taxable cost.

  • Protects exempt funds by requiring financial institutions to leave the greater of all exempt benefit payments posted within the preceding 60 days or $1,000 in the judgment debtor's account (or longer periods required by federal law).

  • Establishes a 15-day notice and claim period allowing judgment debtors to assert exemptions before funds are paid to creditors, with automatic court scheduling of disputed claims for hearing within 45 days.

  • Prohibits financial institutions from serving the same execution twice on the same judgment debtor and restricts multiple executions to one per debtor at a time, with subsequent service allowed only after confirmation of insufficient funds at the previous institution.
