Bill Summary
Relative to the reporting of satisfaction of judgments awarding money damages. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill requires parties who obtain a judgment for money damages in small claims, civil, or summary process (eviction) cases to file a notice of satisfaction of judgment with the court within 60 days of the judgment being fully satisfied. If a party fails to do so, the judgment debtor (the person who owed the money) can recover any reasonable costs and attorney's fees incurred in proving that the judgment was satisfied. This requirement does not apply to judgments that were satisfied through a levy of execution (a court order to seize the debtor's property).
