The Judicial Council is responsible for periodically adjusting and publishing exemption amounts for bankruptcy (CCP 703.140), motor vehicles (CCP 704.010), and homestead (CCP 704.730). As a result, the exemption amount in an underlying section may not match the governing exemption amount determined by the Judicial Council.
The CURRENT DOLLAR AMOUNTS OF EXEMPTIONS FROM ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS (EJ-156) contains the latest exemption amounts and is published on the Judicial Council’s website, https://www.courts.ca.gov/home.htm.
