Title
Rules and Forms | Adjustments to Exemptions from Enforcement of Judgments (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Code of Civil Procedure requires the Judicial Council to publish a list of the current dollar amounts of exemptions from judgment. The Code of Civil Procedure also provides that the dollar amount of the exemption for a judgment debtor’s deposit account be adjusted every July 1. In addition, the Legislature recently amended the relevant sections of the Code of Civil Procedure to adjust the amount of two other existing exemptions and added two new exemptions. Accordingly, Judicial Council staff recommend revising the form that contains the list of dollar amounts of exemptions from judgment to reflect the updated figure for deposit accounts and to implement the recent statutory amendments.
Recommendation
Judicial Council staff recommend that the Judicial Council, effective July 15, 2024, revise Current Dollar Amounts of Exemptions From Enforcement of Judgments (form EJ-156) to reflect increases in the minimum basic standard of care for a family of four and to implement new law.
