AN ACT to amend and reenact sections 32-09.1-05, 32-09.1-10, and 32-09.1-16 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to garnishments.

SB 2310 adjusts fee requirements and minimum judgment thresholds for garnishment proceedings in North Dakota. It sets a $25-$40 fee for service on state entities (like the Office of Management and Budget) and requires plaintiffs to pay this fee when serving garnishee summons. The bill also prohibits judgments under $25-$40 against garnishees, requiring their discharge if the underlying judgment is below this amount. These changes directly affect creditors, debtors, and state agencies involved in garnishment cases.
