SB 17-131

Senate Bill 17-131, also known as the Uniform Wage Garnishment Act, updates Colorado’s laws regarding wage garnishments. This means it changes how employers handle deductions from employees' wages when there are legal debts like unpaid loans or court judgments. The bill affects both employers and individuals who have their wages garnished. Since the status of this bill is "signed," it has been approved by the legislature and signed into law, meaning its provisions are now in effect.
