Modify provisions related to the reimbursement fee for preparation of a garnishment disclosure.

This bill would change how much people pay for garnishment papers, which could affect their money.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
People should pay attention to this bill because it could change how much they have to spend when dealing with garnishments. If the fees go up, it could hurt those who are already struggling financially.
