Under existing law, when a defendant resides within the state and a garnishment is issued on a judgment in which an appearance has not be entered for the defendant, the officer issuing the garnishment must issue notice to the defendant before the garnishment may take effect.
This bill would authorize an alternative procedure to perfect notice to the defendant by providing for a procedure to post the garnishment notice.
