A bill to amend 1961 PA 236, entitled “Revised judicature act of 1961,” by amending sections 2807, 4011, 4015, 4031, 4061a, 6023, 6027, 6059, and 6104 (MCL 600.2807, 600.4011, 600.4015, 600.4031, 600.4061a, 600.6023, 600.6027, 600.6059, and 600.6104), section 2807 as added by 2004 PA 136, section 4011 as amended and section 4061a as added by 1994 PA 346, and section 6023 as amended by 2012 PA 553, and by adding sections 4001a, 4032, 4033, 6001a, 6023b, 6023c, 6023d, 6023e, 6023f, 6023g, and 6023h.
Senate Bills 408 and 409 limit the ability of landlords (and other creditors) to recoup money they are owed. If a renter doesn’t pay, a creditor can go through a process to garnish the renter’s wages. This bill restricts property owners from garnishing funds coming from government benefits and places complicated new regulations on financial institutions that hold the funds of debtors.
