Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 525.233, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 525.233, to read as follows:

The creditor shall not have any action against the garnishee, when the last four digits of the federal taxpayer identification number is omitted from the notice of garnishment or the writ of sequestration or does not match the last four digits of the federal taxpayer identification, for failure to withhold from any person the amount stated in the notice of garnishment or the writ of sequestration, except to serve a notice of garnishment or writ of sequestration for the original amount to the garnishee with the correct last four digits of the federal taxpayer identification number.
