Wage garnishment forms updated to match changes made by 2024 law

A new law amends the statutory forms used to garnish the wages and bank accounts of a person who has a court-ordered judgement against them.

The forms are also used to claim exemptions, such as wages or money in the bank that cannot be garnished, including Social Security benefits or public assistance payments.

A 2024 law changed many garnishment and exemptions in statute, and this law updates all forms used to execute a judgment to reflect those changes. The law also changes the effective date of the garnishment law to June 1, 2025, the same date the new law mostly takes effect.

Rep. Liz Reyer (DFL-Eagan) and Sen. Liz Boldon (DFL-Rochester) are the sponsors.
