        Amends the Code of Civil Procedure with regard to enforcement  of

   certified copy of the judgment to summon 3  persons  to  be  sworn  as      
   commissioners and to appraise the property. Provides that the judgment      
   creditors  or their heirs or assigns shall provide the officer with an      
   appraisal of the property by a State  certified  general  real  estate      
   appraiser  or  a  State  certified  residential real estate appraiser.      
   Provides that the sale of the property by the officer shall be subject      
   to any existing encumbrances.  Provides that the officer shall mail by      
   certified mail or cause to be mailed by certified mail to the judgment      
   debtor a notice indicating that the property will be sold  unless  the      
   judgment  is  satisfied.  The  notice  shall  contain  the date of the      
   scheduled sale, which shall be no less than 60 days after the date  of      
   the notice. Effective immediately.

        Changes the homestead exemption in proceedings for enforcement of      
   judgments from $7,500 to $30,000 (and from $15,000 to $30,000 in the        
   case of property owned by 20 or more individuals). Eliminates a
