Summary

Summary

The Code of Civil Procedure requires the Judicial Council to publish a list of the current dollar amounts of exemptions from judgment. As required by statute, the dollar amount of one exemption was adjusted effective July 1, 2022. Accordingly, Judicial Council staff recommend revising the form that contains the list of dollar amounts of exemptions from judgment to reflect the updated figure.

Recommendation

Recommendation

Judicial Council staff recommend that the council, effective July 15, 2022, revise form EJ-156, Current Dollar Amounts of Exemptions from Enforcement of Judgments, to reflect increases in the minimum basic standard of care for a family of four. Specifically, the amount of the exemption money in a judgment debtor’s deposit account would increase from $1,826 to $1,947.
