AI Summary
- Amends Mississippi Code Section 15-1-43 to allow domestic judgments or decrees to be renewed, extending the 7-year statute of limitations from the date of the last renewal rather than only from the original rendition date
- Establishes a formal "Notice of Renewal of Judgment or Decree" process requiring filing with the clerk of the court that rendered the original judgment, including details such as the case number, parties, current holder, and amount owed
- Requires the judgment creditor or attorney to file an affidavit with the clerk providing the last known addresses of both the judgment debtor and creditor, after which the clerk must mail notice of the renewal filing to the judgment debtor
- Provides that the lien of a renewed judgment continues from the date of enrollment of the original judgment, and the renewed judgment is treated the same as the previously rendered judgment
- Effective date of July 1, 2010; preserves the right to renew a judgment through any other manner allowed by law as an alternative to the new Notice of Renewal process
