State garnishment provisions have been amended, with regard to civil procedures, deadlines and administrative fees. The law has been amended to require that answers to garnishments be completed within 14 days following the date of service of an initial order of garnishment. A party or the court may request a written explanation of the garnishee's computations of earnings withheld during any pay period and to require that the explanation be submitted by affidavit to all parties and the court within 14 days after such request. With regard to fees, the law is amended to provide that, from income due the judgment debtor (including child support), the garnishee may withhold and retain to defray the garnishee’s costs, an administrative fee of $10 for each 30-day period for which income is withheld. The administrative fee is to be in addition to the amount required to be withheld under the order for garnishment. (S.B. 234, Laws 2009, and H.B. 2656, Laws 2009, effective July 1, 2010.)
