For legislation to require that judgements for money damages be reported. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill requires parties who obtain a judgment for money damages to file a notice of satisfaction of judgment with the court that issued the judgment within 60 days of the judgment being fully satisfied. If a party fails to do so, they may be liable to the judgment debtor for any costs and attorneys' fees awarded by the court that were reasonably incurred in proving the judgment was satisfied. This requirement applies to small claims cases, civil cases, and summary process cases (i.e., eviction cases) where a money judgment is obtained, but does not apply to judgments that have been satisfied by a levy of execution.
