1998 SESSION
HB 1303 Garnishments.
Introduced by: David B. Albo | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Garnishments. Prescribes a separate, required form for garnishments of wages. In the case of wage garnishments, interest is to be calculated to a date certain, not the return date of the summons as under current law.
The bill also allows service upon officers, registered agents or persons designated in a written notarized instrument. Service may be had upon the clerk of the State Corporation Commission only after the judgment creditor files with the court a certificate that due diligence failed to locate an officer or persons authorized in the written instrument or if the corporation does not have a registered agent or the agent could not be found at the registered office. A 1997 amendment limited service of such process upon the registered agent. This amendment is subject to an emergency clause.
