This bill allows a constable to establish a payment schedule with an individual instead of seizing the individual's property, under certain circumstances.
This bill:
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current law, constables — local law enforcement officers who carry out court orders — are authorized to seize a person's property to satisfy a debt or judgment. This bill adds a new option: with the approval of the party that directed the constable to seize the property, a constable may instead work out a payment schedule with the individual, allowing them to pay what they owe over time rather than having their property taken.
