Bill Summary
General Description: This bill allows a constable to establish a payment schedule with an individual instead of seizing the individual's property, under certain circumstances.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow constables, who are officials responsible for serving legal documents and enforcing court orders, to establish payment schedules with individuals instead of immediately seizing their property, provided a party directing the constable to seize property approves this alternative. This change is part of a broader update to the laws governing constables, including their terms of service, deputization of staff, and the scope of their duties, and it will take effect on May 6, 2026.
