Summary

The purpose of this bill is to increase the salary or wages of a judgment debtor, that may be exempt from execution by a judgment creditor, who is an employee of state, a state agency, or any political subdivision of the state, from 30 to 50 times the federal minimum hourly wage (then in effect). This increased exemption was changed for private employees who are judgment debtors during the 2016 Regular Session. Subsection (b) corresponds to language found in §38-5A-3, creating consistency for public and private employees.  The bill also requires that the judgment creditor includes additional personal information about the judgment debtor such as last four digits of Social Security number and date of birth.
