So, even if they win the lawsuit, how will collection be enforced? Will individuals have the right to levy income or place liens against property?
- alwillis 4y agoIt's a civil suite; if it's like the Texas law, they'll have to pay the fine ($10,000) plus legal fees and court costs, which the court will enforce.

- PopAlongKid 4y agoRight, but which employee of the court actually goes after collection? (That's why I asked about levies and liens). It's not a fine payable to the state, but rather to the plaintiff. Just because someone gets a bill doesn't mean they will pay it. The IRS goes after tax delinquents, but they are not a court. The county tax assessor goes after delinquent property tax, but they are not a court.
