KS SB323

Amends K.S.A. 60-2310 to clarify that "earnings" means compensation "paid or payable" for personal services, expanding wage garnishment protections to cover both received and owed compensation

Wage garnishment limits remain at the lesser of: 25% of disposable earnings, the amount exceeding 30 times the federal minimum hourly wage, or the plaintiff's claim amount

Debtors who miss more than two weeks of work due to illness (their own or a family member's) receive a two-month exemption from garnishment after recovery

Support order garnishments allow higher limits: 50% for those supporting other dependents, 60% for those without other dependents, with an additional 5% added for arrears over 12 weeks old

Takes effect upon publication in the Kansas statute book
