The Wage Garnishment Law prescribes the procedure for withholding an employee's earnings for purposes of paying a debt. The law requires that a levy of execution upon the earnings of an employee be made by service of an earnings withholding order upon the employer. An earnings withholding order is issued by a levying officer upon receiving an application submitted by a judgment creditor, as specified. An employer is required, except as otherwise provided by statute, to withhold the amounts required by an earnings withholding order from all earnings of the employee payable for any pay period of the employee which ends during the withholding period. This bill would provide that an earnings withholding order shall not be used for purposes of enforcing a judgment for the collection of debt that is from a student loan that is not made, insured, or guaranteed by the United State Government pursuant to the Federal Family Education Loan Program or the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. The bill would require a court to terminate or modify an earnings withholding order issued on or after July 1, 2014, if the court determines, upon a request by the judgment debtor pursuant to specified requirements and procedures, that the withholding order enforces a judgment in violation of these provisions. The bill would provide that a judgment creditor is liable to the judgment debtor for all amounts collected by the judgment creditor in violation of these provisions. The bill also would make conforming changes.
