What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a person fails to pay a judgment ordered by a municipal court, the court may do any of the following:
1. Defer any payment of the judgment for a period of time.

2. Allow the person to pay the judgment by making installment payments.
3. Order the person to perform community service work in lieu of paying the judgment.
4. Suspend the person's driving privileges until the judgment is paid, including taking possession of the person's license to drive.
This bill adds another option to the court, allowing the court to issue an order assigning not more than 25 percent of the person's earnings, worker's compensation, pension, and other money due to the person, such as lottery prizes, to pay an unpaid judgment. The bill allows the municipal court to use the same procedures, notices, and penalties that the circuit court utilizes for persons who are the subject of a circuit court-ordered assignment. The bill also adds municipal court judgments to those judgments that may be collected in circuit court.
