Mortgage Salaries Strictly Regulates Wage Assignments
Spokane news reports a new Washington law restricting wage assignments for loans under 300 dollars. After June 12 no such assignment is valid without the borrower's employer consent, and if married, the wife's consent is required. Employers must record acceptable assignments with the county auditor, and married men need their wife’s written consent. Spokane employers expect the rule will curb 10 percent monthly sharks operating locally.
