AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Constables are local officers who carry out court orders, including seizing a person's property to satisfy a debt or judgment. Under current law, constables do not have explicit authority to offer alternatives to seizing property. If passed, this bill would allow a constable, with approval from the party who directed the seizure, to instead set up a payment schedule with the individual so they can pay off what they owe over time rather than having their property taken.
