Sponsor:  Threlkeld

Currently, if a debtor is the head of a family and a resident of
this state, 90% of the debtor's income is protected from
garnishment.  This bill specifies that the court, and not the
garnishee, will be responsible for making the determination of
whether the debtor is the head of a family and a resident of the
state.
