           An act relating to judgments; clarifying the general 
          judgment lien law; amending Minnesota Statutes 1984, 
          section 548.09, subdivision 1.  
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
    Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1984, section 548.09, 
subdivision 1, is amended to read:  
    Subdivision 1.  [DOCKETING; SURVIVAL OF JUDGMENT.] Except 
as provided in section 548.091, every judgment requiring the 
payment of money shall be docketed by the clerk upon its entry.  
Upon a transcript of the docket being filed with the clerk in 
any other county, the clerk shall also docket it.  From the time 
of docketing the judgment is a lien, in the amount unpaid, upon 
all real property in the county then or thereafter owned by the 
judgment debtor, but it is not a lien upon registered land 
unless it is also filed pursuant to sections 508.63 and 
508A.63.  The judgment survives, and the lien continues, for ten 
years after its entry.
