The Secretary of Labor may exempt certain state-law garnishments from two federal garnishment limits when the state’s restrictions are substantially similar to the federal restrictions.

The Secretary of Labor may issue regulations exempting garnishments made under a State’s laws from section 1673(a) and section 1673(b)(2) of this title. The Secretary may do this only if the Secretary determines that the State’s laws impose garnishment restrictions substantially similar to those in those federal provisions.
