67-1-1408. Levy on pay Duration, release, and renewal.

(a)  The effect of a levy on salary or wages payable to or receivable by a taxpayer shall be continuous from the date a levy is made until the liability out of which the levy arose is satisfied or becomes unenforceable by reason of lapse of time, or until the expiration of the employer's payroll period that ends immediately prior to three (3) calendar months after the levy is made, whichever occurs first.

(b)  With respect to a levy made under this section, the commissioner or the commissioner's delegate shall promptly release the levy when the liability out of which it arose is satisfied or becomes unenforceable by reason of lapse of time, and shall promptly notify the person upon whom the levy was made that it has been released.

(c)  If, pursuant to subsection (a), the period of effectiveness for a levy expires prior to the time the liability out of which the levy arose is satisfied or becomes unenforceable by reason of lapse of time, the commissioner or the commissioner's delegate may subsequently proceed to levy on salary or wages in like manner as often as may be necessary until the liability out of which the levy arose is fully satisfied or becomes unenforceable by reason of lapse of time.
