Utah's debt collection law lists certain kinds of property that creditors cannot seize to satisfy unpaid debts, such as clothing, basic appliances, disability benefits, and retirement accounts. This bill adds federal income tax refunds tied to the Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit to that protected list, shielding the full refund amount from creditors regardless of whether it's received as a refund or applied as a reduction in taxes owed. The bill also reorganizes and renumbers the existing list of exempt property and makes other technical wording changes, but these do not alter what property is currently protected from creditors.
