Garnishments and Executions - As enacted, makes various revisions to provisions related to property that is exempt from execution, seizure, or attachment. - Amends TCA Section 26-2-111.

This bill modifies Tennessee laws regarding which retirement and pension funds can be protected from being seized by creditors. It clarifies that certain payments from stock bonuses, pensions, and annuities remain exempt from garnishment unless they are already unprotected under existing rules. The legislation specifically addresses situations where individuals can choose to receive their retirement benefits as a lump sum or in short-term installments before age fifty-eight, noting that such assets are not exempt in those cases. Additionally, the bill reaffirms that qualified retirement plans under federal tax codes remain protected from creditors unless specific exceptions apply. These changes directly affect individuals in Tennessee who rely on retirement income and face debt collection actions.
