This bill amends sections 25-1030.01 and 25-1056 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to update the procedures for service of 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 upon its registered agent. Additionally, it clarifies the process for issuing a summons to garnishees, including the requirement for the garnishee to hold the defendant's property until further court order and the conditions under which a continuing lien on nonexempt earnings can be established.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities of financial institutions regarding the service of garnishment summons, including the designation of 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. The bill also provides immunity for the Department of Banking and Finance and its employees from civil and criminal liability related to these requirements. The original sections 25-1030.01 and 25-1056 are repealed to incorporate these changes.
