Bill > S779

This bill proposes to amend existing law to allow for the transfer of supplementary proceedings, which are legal actions taken to collect a debt after a judgment has been issued, when the person who owes the debt (the judgment debtor) moves to a different judicial district. Specifically, if a judgment debtor moves out of the district where a supplementary process was initiated, the court can, upon request from the person to whom the debt is owed (the judgment creditor), move the case to the court in the new district where the debtor now resides. The court records and original documents would be sent to the new court without any additional filing fees, and the case would proceed as if it had started there, with any existing court orders remaining in effect unless the court decides otherwise.
