Explanation of Estimate:
LB 174 would provide a maximum of earnings to be garnished for medical debt sought by medical debt buyers or
creditors.
The Department of Administrative Servies (DAS) State Accounting believes LB 174 would require the courts to
identify, in an interrogatory, garnishment requests that are for medical debt so the proper rule set could be applied.
DAS-State Accounting would need to setup a rule set in the State A ccounting System to be applied for medical
debt garnishments. This is a one- time setup process and is not expected to increase the garnishment workload.
LB174 does not have a fiscal impact on Administrative Services.
