Provides that any party may request a readjustment of a reduced interest rate on a judgment based on a relevant change in circumstances. Provides that a judgment debtor shall be notified that the court may reduce the amount of wages withheld and reduce the rate of interest on the judgment, if the court finds that the judgment debtor is a "family supporter" and the full wage garnishment would result in a denial of necessities to the judgment debtor's dependents who are disabled or under the age of 18.
