How the figure is kept current
(d)(A) The State Court Administrator shall index the amounts identified as exempt from execution under paragraph (a) of this subsection each year on or before July 1 to reflect increases or decreases in the cost of living for the previous calendar year, based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, West Region (All Items), as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor or a successor agency. The State Court Administrator shall publish the adjusted exemption limitations on the Judicial Department website. In adjusting the amounts, the State Court Administrator shall round to the nearest $100, but shall use unrounded adjusted amounts to calculate the amounts of the exemptions during the succeeding year. The new amounts become effective on July 1 of the year in which the State Court Administrator makes the adjustment.
