SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Enforcement of judgments.  Streamlines the process for enforcing judgments issued by a  general district court and docketed in circuit court so as to extend enforcement timeframes by (i) eliminating the requirement for district court approval of the motion for extension, (ii) eliminating the requirement that all case documents in the district court must be filed in the circuit court, and (iii) permitting executions on the docketed civil judgments to issue from the general district court in which the judgment was obtained after the abstract of the circuit court judgment has been filed in the district court.
