This bill amends sections 25-1030.01 and 25-1056 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, focusing on the procedures for service of garnishment summons and notices upon corporate garnishees. It introduces new definitions and clarifies that when a garnishee is a corporate entity, notice must be served to the registered agent for service of process in Nebraska. Additionally, the bill outlines the process for issuing a summons when a judgment has been entered, detailing the responsibilities of the garnishee regarding the withholding of property and nonexempt earnings of the judgment debtor.

The bill also establishes guidelines for financial institutions regarding the service of garnishment summons, requiring them to designate a main chartered office or agent for service of process. It specifies that service made at the designated location is valid and effective for any property or credits of the defendant. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the term "corporate entity" includes various types of corporations and limited liability companies, while explicitly excluding financial institutions from this definition. The original sections 25-1030.01 and 25-1056 are repealed as part of this legislative update.
