SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Garnishment; venue.  Provides that a judgment creditor may institute garnishment proceedings in the jurisdiction where the judgment debtor resides even though the underlying judgment was entered by another court. The judgment creditor must file with the court where the judgment debtor resides an abstract of the judgment rendered, pay all applicable court fees to the court, and file any release or satisfaction of judgment in both courts. The bill also clarifies that judgment creditors who have made a good faith effort to secure the judgment debtor's social security number and are unable to do so may nevertheless have a garnishment summons issued. This bill is identical to SB 625.
