2012 Senate Bill 1092 ↩

Senate Roll Call 441: Passed

To allow a creditor given a “judgment lien” on a property owned by a bankrupt debtor to foreclose on the property after it has been sold to a new owner (that is, to force the sale of the property by the new owner) if the previous owner failed to pay the amount due. Under current law, a “judgment creditor” is entitled to payment when the “judgment debtor” sells the property, but if the amount owed is not collected the creditor can’t force foreclosure on the new owner.
