§ 2235. Requirements for assignment of wages

No assignment of or order for payment of any salary, wages, commissions, or other compensation for services, earned or to be earned, given to secure any loan made by any licensee under this chapter, shall be valid unless the amount of such loan is paid to the borrower simultaneously with its execution. Such assignment or order, or any chattel mortgage or other lien on household furniture then in the possession and use of the borrower, shall not be valid unless it is in writing, signed in person by the borrower, nor shall it be valid if the borrower is married unless it is signed in person by both husband and wife. However, written assent of a spouse shall not be required if the borrower has title as a result of a court order. (Amended 1995, No. 162 (Adj. Sess.), § 35, eff. Jan. 1, 1997; 2009, No. 29, § 1.)
