HB1240 GARNISHMENT OF WAGES (HAMM R) Provides that if: (1) a judgment debtor leaves employment with an employer who is garnishing the wages of the judgment debtor subject to a judgment obtained by a judgment creditor; (2) the judgment debtor subsequently returns to employment with the same employer; and (3) the judgment against the
judgment debtor has not been satisfied; the judgment creditor must obtain a new judgment against the judgment
debtor before the employer of the judgment debtor is required to resume garnishment of the wages of the judgment
debtor.
