Sec. 2. (a) Upon receipt from an adverse claimant who is a money judgment creditor of the documents and process required under IC 28-9-3-4(d), a depository financial institution shall:
(1) deduct and obtain from the deposit account the full amount of the fee specified in section 3(b) of this chapter;
(2) within a commercially reasonable time after receiving the documents and process, restrict withdrawal of funds in the deposit account identified in the documents and process in an amount equal to the lesser of:
(A) the unpaid amount of the judgment specified by the documents and process; or
(B) the balance in the account at the time of receipt of the documents and process;
less one-half (1/2) of the amount of the fee deducted under subdivision (1);
(3) if the depository financial institution places a hold on the deposit account of a judgment defendant who is an individual, within one (1) working day after the hold has been placed, send to each depositor whose deposit account is affected at the last known address of such depositor or depositors (as the address is shown by the records of the depository financial institution with respect to that deposit account) a copy of the notice or order containing the notice specified in IC 28-9-3-4(d)(3) and a written notification advising the depositor or depositors that the hold has been placed; and
(4) if the depository financial institution places a hold on the deposit account of a judgment defendant who is not an individual, within one (1) working day after the hold has been placed, send to each depositor whose deposit account is affected at the last known address of such depositor or depositors (as the address is shown by the records of the depository financial institution with respect to that deposit account) a written notification advising the depositor or depositors that the hold has been placed.
(b) The restriction on withdrawal from a deposit account imposed by a depository financial institution under this section may not exceed ninety (90) days, pending a court's determination of the adverse claimant's rights to the amount restricted.
(c) If:
(1) ninety (90) days have elapsed after the hold is placed on a deposit account; and
(2) an apparently valid order of a court has not been served upon the depository financial institution that directs the depository financial institution to begin or to continue to restrict withdrawals from a deposit account;
the restriction on withdrawal from the deposit account imposed under subsection (a) expires.
