LB 136 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to service of garnishment summons, continuing liens, and notices upon corporate garnishees

LB 136 updates Nebraska's civil procedure rules for garnishment cases. It requires creditors to serve garnishment notices on corporate garnishees (like businesses) through their registered agent in Nebraska, rather than directly to the company. The bill also clarifies that a "continuing lien" on a debtor's wages - allowing ongoing wage withholding - lasts 90 days (with a possible 90-day extension) and automatically ends under specific conditions like full judgment payment or the debtor leaving employment. This directly affects creditors seeking to collect judgments, debtors with wages subject to garnishment, and corporate entities serving as garnishees.
