571.923 MULTIPLE EARNINGS GARNISHMENTS.
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter or section 518A.53, the priority of multiple
earnings garnishments shall be determined by the order in which the garnishment summonses
were served on the employer. If the employer is served with two or more garnishment summonses
at the same time on the same day, the garnishment summons issued pursuant to the first judgment
entered has priority. If two or more garnishment summonses are served on the same day and are
based on judgments entered on the same day or if there are two or more garnishment summonses
based on prejudgment garnishment pursuant to section 571.93, then the employer shall select
the priority of the earnings garnishments. However, in all cases except wage garnishments on
judgments for child support if the judgment creditor is a county and the employer is notified by
the county when the judgment is satisfied, garnishments shall be effective no longer than 70 days
from the date of the service of the garnishment summons.
