Bill > LB136

This bill modifies Nebraska's legal procedures for garnishment, specifically addressing how summons and notices are served on corporate entities and financial institutions. The bill clarifies that for corporate entities like corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships, any garnishment summons or continuing lien must be served directly on the entity's registered agent for service of process in Nebraska. For financial institutions, the bill establishes detailed requirements for how and where service of summons can be made, including allowing institutions to designate a specific office, branch, or agent for receiving legal documents. The bill also provides additional details about continuing liens on wages, including how they can be implemented, prioritized, and extended. Key provisions include allowing a judgment creditor to extend a wage garnishment lien for a second 90-day period, establishing priorities between different types of garnishments (such as prioritizing support-related garnishments), and ensuring that only one continuing lien on an employee's earnings can be in effect at a time. The bill aims to provide clearer, more standardized procedures for serving legal notices in garnishment proceedings and managing wage garnishments.
