Tennessee SB1637 amends fees for services rendered by sheriffs or authorized persons for garnishments.

Tennessee SB1637 revises the Tennessee Code to change how fees for garnishments are calculated. It establishes that all garnishments are treated as original garnishments, entitling the sheriff or authorized person to a specific fee for each garnishment served. Additionally, it allows the sheriff or authorized person to request payment of the fee before performing the service. This act becomes effective immediately upon becoming law.
