Abramson HB No. 453
Abstract: Requires the notice of seizure in judgment debtor cases to be in a form which is
substantially similar to that required in general seizure cases.
Present law provides procedures for the seizure of property of a judgment debtor to satisfy
a money judgment. Requires the sheriff to serve a written notice of seizure upon the
judgment debtor.
Proposed law retains present law and provides that such notice of seizure shall be
substantially similar to the form used in general seizure cases.
