On June 3, 2017, Nevada Senate Bill 230 was passed and signed into law. The most exciting part of this bill is that beginning on October 1, 2017, writs of garnishment for wages are now effective for 180 days, when previously they were only effective for 120 days. This will lock in a creditor’s right to garnish a debtor’s wages for an additional 60 days each time a writ of garnishment is served. The writ of garnishment will now only need to be renewed twice a year.
