Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 550.136, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

Subd. 6.

Earnings exemption notice.

Before the first levy on earnings under this chapter,
the judgment creditor shall serve upon the judgment debtor no less than ten days before the
service of the writ of execution, a notice that the writ of execution may be served on the
judgment debtor's employer. The notice must: (1) be substantially in the form set forth
below; (2) be served personally, in the manner of a summons and complaint, or by first
class mail to the last known address of the judgment debtor; (3) inform the judgment debtor
that an execution levy may be served on the judgment debtor's employer in ten days, and
that the judgment debtor may, within that time, cause to be served on the judgment creditor
a signed statement under penalties of perjury asserting an entitlement to an exemption from
execution; (4) inform the judgment debtor of the earnings exemptions contained in section
550.37, subdivision 14; and (5) advise the judgment debtor of the relief set forth in this
chapter to which the debtor may be entitled if a judgment creditor in bad faith disregards a
valid claim and the fee, costs, and penalty that may be assessed against a judgment debtor
who in bad faith falsely claims an exemption or in bad faith takes action to frustrate the
execution process. The notice requirement of this subdivision does not apply to a levy on
earnings being retained by an employer pursuant to a garnishment previously served in
compliance with chapter 571.

The ten-day notice informing a judgment debtor that a writ of execution may be used
to levy the earnings of an individual must be substantially in the following form:

new text end

new text begin (iii) you were an inmate of a correctional institution in the last 6 months.

lawyer. If you are not sure if you have any exemptions, talk to a lawyer.

deleted text end

new text begin Notice: You must send copies of your bank statements for the past 60 days before the
garnishment. Send them to the creditor (or to the creditor's lawyer). Keep a copy of your
bank statements in case there are questions about your claim. If you don't send bank
statements to the creditor (or to the creditor's lawyer) along with your exemption claim, the
financial institution may give your money to the creditor. They would do this once the
creditor gives them a court order saying they have to turn over the funds.

How The Process Works

If You deleted text begin Do Notdeleted text end new text begin Don'tnew text end Send in the Exemption Form and Bank Statements:

14 days after the date of this letter some or all of your money may be turned over to the
creditor deleted text begin pursuant to Minnesota statutedeleted text end .new text begin This happens once they get an order from the court
telling the bank to do this.
new text end

If You new text begin Do new text end Send in the Exemption Form and Bank Statements:

from the courtnew text end .

deleted text begin The financial institution will unfreeze your money six business days after the institution

The money you deleted text begin havedeleted text end said is protected on the form deleted text begin will bedeleted text end new text begin isnew text end held by the bank. The creditor
has deleted text begin sixdeleted text end new text begin 6new text end business days to object (disagree) and ask the court to hold a hearing. You deleted text begin will
receivedeleted text end new text begin getnew text end a Notice of Objection and a Notice of Hearing.

The deleted text begin financial institution will holddeleted text end new text begin bank holdsnew text end the money until a court decides deleted text begin whetherdeleted text end new text begin ifnew text end

notdeleted text end new text begin didn'tnew text end send copies of your bank statements or other proof of the benefits you deleted text begin receiveddeleted text end new text begin
gotnew text end . Be sure to include these when you send your exemption form.

Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 551.06, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

Subd. 6.

Earnings exemption notice.

Before the first levy on earnings, the attorney for
the judgment creditor shall serve upon the judgment debtor no less than ten days before the
service of the writ of execution, a notice that the writ of execution may be served on the
judgment debtor's employer. The notice must: (1) be substantially in the form set forth
below; (2) be served personally, in the manner of a summons and complaint, or by first
class mail to the last known address of the judgment debtor; (3) inform the judgment debtor
that an execution levy may be served on the judgment debtor's employer in ten days, and
that the judgment debtor may, within that time, cause to be served on the judgment creditor's
attorney a signed statement under penalties of perjury asserting an entitlement to an
exemption from execution; (4) inform the judgment debtor of the earnings exemptions
contained in section 550.37, subdivision 14; and (5) advise the judgment debtor of the relief
set forth in this chapter to which the judgment debtor may be entitled if a judgment creditor
in bad faith disregards a valid claim and the fee, costs, and penalty that may be assessed
against a judgment debtor who in bad faith falsely claims an exemption or in bad faith takes
action to frustrate the execution process. The notice requirement of this subdivision does
not apply to a levy on earnings being held by an employer pursuant to a garnishment
summons served in compliance with chapter 571.

The ten-day notice informing a judgment debtor that a writ of execution may be used
to levy the earnings of an individual must be substantially in the following form:

Even if you claim an exemption, a levy may still be served on your employer. If they
take money from you after you claim an exemption, you may ask the court to review
your exemption. If the court finds that the creditor ignored your claim of exemption in
bad faith, you are entitled to costs, reasonable lawyer fees, actual damages, and a fine
up to $100. Bad faith is when someone does something wrong on purpose.

(2) deleted text begin HOWEVER, BE WARNED if you claim an exemption, the judgment creditor can

(3) deleted text begin If after receipt of this notice, you in bad faith take action to frustrate the execution
levy, thus requiring the judgment creditor to petition the court to resolve the problem,
you will be liable to the judgment creditor for costs and reasonable attorney's fees plus
an amount not to exceed $100.deleted text end new text begin If you get this notice, then do something in bad faith to
try to block or stop the levy and the creditor has to take you to court because of it, you

Sec. 15.

Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 571.75, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

Subd. 2.

Contents of disclosure.

The disclosure must state:

(a) If an earnings garnishment disclosure, the amount of disposable earnings earned by
the debtor within the debtor's pay periods as specified in section 571.921.

(b) If a nonearnings garnishment disclosure, a description of any personal property or
any instrument or papers relating to this property belonging to the judgment debtor or in
which the debtor is interested or other indebtedness of the garnishee to the debtor.

(c) If the garnishee asserts any setoff, defense, claim, or lien on disposable earnings,
other indebtedness, money, or property, the garnishee shall disclose the amount and the
facts concerning the same.

(d) Whether the debtor asserts any exemption, or any other objection, known to the
garnishee against the right of the creditor to garnish the disposable earnings, other
indebtedness, money, or property disclosed.

(e) If other persons assert claims to any disposable earnings, other indebtedness, money,
or property disclosed, the garnishee shall disclose the names and addresses of these claimants
and, so far as known by the garnishee, the nature of their claims.

(f) The garnishment disclosure forms and earnings disclosure worksheet must be the
same or substantially similar to the following forms. If the garnishment affects earnings of
the debtor, the creditor shall use the earnings garnishment disclosure form. If the garnishment
affects any indebtedness, money, or property of the debtor, other than earnings, the creditor
shall use the nonearnings garnishment disclosure form. Nothing contained in this paragraph
limits the simultaneous use of the earnings and nonearnings garnishment disclosure forms.

You must pay the attached earnings and return this earnings disclosure form and the
Earnings Disclosure Worksheet to the creditor's attorney (or the creditor if not represented
by an attorney) and deliver a copy to the debtor within ten days after the last payday
that falls within the 90-day period. If the claim is wholly satisfied or if the debtor's
employment ends before the expiration of the 90-day period, your disclosure should be
made within ten days after the last payday for which earnings were attached.

For steps 2 through 8, "columns" refers to columns on the Earnings Disclosure Worksheet.

(2) COLUMN A. Enter the date of debtor's payday.

(3) COLUMN B. Enter debtor's gross earnings for each payday.

(4) COLUMN C. Enter debtor's disposable earnings for each payday.

(5) COLUMN D. Enter either 50, 55, 60, or 65 percent of disposable earnings, based
on which of the following descriptions fits the child support judgment debtor:

(a) 50 percent of the judgment debtor's disposable income, if the judgment debtor is
supporting a spouse or dependent child and the judgment is 12 weeks old or less (12 weeks
to be calculated to the beginning of the work week in which the execution levy is received);

(b) 55 percent of the judgment debtor's disposable income, if the judgment debtor is
supporting a spouse or dependent child, and the judgment is over 12 weeks old (12 weeks
to be calculated to the beginning of the work week in which the execution levy is received);

(c) 60 percent of the judgment debtor's disposable income, if the judgment debtor is not
supporting a spouse or dependent child and the judgment is 12 weeks old or less (12 weeks
to be calculated to the beginning of the work week in which the execution levy is received);
or

(d) 65 percent of the judgment debtor's disposable income, if the judgment debtor is not
supporting a spouse or dependent child, and the judgment is over 12 weeks old (12 weeks
to be calculated to the beginning of the work week in which the execution levy is received).
(Multiply column C by .50, .55, .60, or .65, as appropriate.)

(6) COLUMN E. Enter here any amount claimed by you as a setoff, defense, lien, or
claim, or any amount claimed by any other person as an exemption or adverse interest that
would reduce the amount of earnings owing to the debtor. (Note: Any assignment of earnings
made by the debtor to any party within ten days before the receipt of the first garnishment
on a debt is void. Any indebtedness to you incurred by the debtor within the ten days before
the receipt of the first garnishment on a debt may not be set off against amounts otherwise
subject to the garnishment.)

You must also describe your claim(s) and the claims of others, if known, in the space
provided below the worksheet and state the name(s) and address(es) of these persons.

Enter zero in column E if there are no claims by you or others that would reduce the
amount of earnings owing to the judgment debtor.

(7) COLUMN F. Subtract the amount in column E from the amount in column D and
enter here. This is the amount of earnings that you must remit for the payday for which the
calculations were made.

Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 571.925, is amended to read:

571.925 FORM OF NOTICE.

deleted text begin and deleted text end		deleted text begin INTENT TO GARNISH EARNINGS deleted text end
deleted text begin . (Garnishee) deleted text end

deleted text begin PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a garnishment summons or levy may be served upon
your employer or other third parties, without any further court proceedings or notice to you,
ten days or more from the date hereof. Some or all of your earnings are exempt from
garnishment. If your earnings are garnished, your employer must show you how the amount
that is garnished from your earnings was calculated. You have the right to request a hearing
if you claim the garnishment is incorrect.
deleted text end

deleted text begin Your earnings are completely exempt from garnishment if you are now a recipient of
assistance based on need, if you have been a recipient of assistance based on need within
the last six months, or if you have been an inmate of a correctional institution in the last six
months.

new text begin Notice: A garnishment may be served on your employer or other third parties.
Garnishment means that part of your earnings can be taken to pay off debts that you
owe. This can happen in 10 days or more after you get this notice. This can happen without
any other court action or notice to you. But some of your money may be protected.
new text end

	new text begin new text begin Your earnings cannot be taken if: new text end new text end
	new text begin (i) you are getting government assistance based on need, new text end
	new text begin (ii) you got any government assistance based on need in the last 6 months, or new text end

deleted text end

deleted text begin You may wish to contact the attorney for the creditor in order to arrange for a settlement
of the debt or contact an attorney to advise you about exemptions or other rights.
deleted text end

deleted text begin PENALTIES
deleted text end

deleted text begin (1) Be advised that even if you claim an exemption, a garnishment summons may still
be served on your employer. If your earnings are garnished after you claim an exemption,
you may petition the court for a determination of your exemption. If the court finds that
the creditor disregarded your claim of exemption in bad faith, you will be entitled to
costs, reasonable attorney fees, actual damages, and an amount not to exceed $100.
deleted text end

deleted text begin (2) HOWEVER, BE WARNED if you claim an exemption, the creditor can also petition
the court for a determination of your exemption, and if the court finds that you claimed
an exemption in bad faith, you will be assessed costs and reasonable attorney's fees plus
an amount not to exceed $100.
deleted text end

deleted text begin (3) If after receipt of this notice, you in bad faith take action to frustrate the garnishment,
thus requiring the creditor to petition the court to resolve the problem, you will be liable
to the creditor for costs and reasonable attorney's fees plus an amount not to exceed
$100.

new text begin Warnings and Fines
new text end

new text begin (1) Even if you claim an exemption, a levy may still be served on your employer. If they
take money from you after you claim an exemption, you may ask the court to review your
exemption. If the court finds that the creditor ignored your claim of exemption in bad faith,
you are entitled to costs, reasonable lawyer fees, actual damages, and a fine up to $100. Bad
faith is when someone does something wrong on purpose.
new text end

new text begin (2) BUT if you claim an exemption, the creditor can also ask the court to review your
exemption. If the court finds that you claimed an exemption in bad faith, you are charged
costs and reasonable lawyer fees, and a fine up to $100.
