This bill updates Michigan's civil procedure laws to modernize how courts collect money judgments from individuals and entities. It clarifies definitions for terms like "consumer," "creditor," and "earnings" to include various forms of compensation and spousal support. The legislation also adjusts rules for garnishing wages, such as specifying how much can be withheld after mandatory deductions, and outlines when courts can issue garnishment orders before a final judgment is reached. Additionally, the bill establishes a $1 fee that plaintiffs must pay to the third party holding funds and details how leftover assets should be distributed if a garnishment is later released.
