A bill to amend 1961 PA 236, entitled “Revised judicature act of 1961,” by amending section 5451 (MCL 600.5451), as amended by 2012 PA 451.
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.
