| 2 | 
 | 
| 3 | Amendment (with title amendment) | 
| 4 | Between lines 184 and 185, insert: | 
| 5 | Section 6.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, | 
| 6 | effective July 1, 2011, the garnishment of state employee wages, | 
| 7 | except for the purpose of enforcing child support obligations, | 
| 8 | is prohibited. | 
| 9 | Section 7.  The Legislature recognizes that there is a need | 
| 10 | to conform the Florida Statutes to the changes in this act | 
| 11 | relating to garnishment of state employee wages and that there | 
| 12 | may be a need to resolve apparent conflicts with any other | 
| 13 | legislation that has been or may be enacted during the 2011 | 
| 14 | Regular Session. Therefore, in the interim between this act | 
| 15 | becoming a law and the 2012 Regular Session of the Legislature | 
| 16 | or an earlier special session addressing this issue, the | 
| 17 | Division of Statutory Revision shall provide assistance to the | 
| 18 | relevant substantive committees of the Senate and the House of | 
| 19 | Representatives, upon request, in preparing draft legislation to | 
| 20 | conform the Florida Statutes and any legislation enacted during | 
| 21 | 2010 to the provisions of this act. |
