What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill exempts health savings accounts and medical savings accounts from execution of judgment. Under current law, certain property items are, with some exceptions, exempt from execution. Current law defines the term “exempt” to mean that property identified in the statutes as “exempt” is free from any lien obtained by judicial proceedings and not liable to seizure or sale on execution or on any provisional or final process issued from any court, or any proceedings in aid of court process. This bill adds health savings accounts and medical savings accounts to the list of property exempt from execution.
