This bill amends sections 25-1030.01 and 25-1056 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to update the procedures for serving garnishment summons and notices upon corporate garnishees. It introduces a definition for "corporate entity," which includes corporations, limited liability companies, and other entities required to have a registered agent for service of process in Nebraska. The bill mandates that if the garnishee is a corporate entity, notice must be served to the registered agent in the state. Additionally, it clarifies the process for issuing a continuing lien against nonexempt earnings of a judgment debtor, specifying that only one such lien can be in effect at a time and detailing the conditions under which the lien may be invalidated.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities of financial institutions regarding the service of garnishment summons, including the requirement to designate a main office or agent for service of process. It also provides immunity from civil and criminal liability for the Department of Banking and Finance and its employees concerning the implementation of these provisions. The original sections 25-1030.01 and 25-1056 are repealed, consolidating the updated legal framework for garnishment procedures in Nebraska.
