The article mentioned that the state has the right to garnish wages up to 100%, so I was pondering why the state didn’t do that instead. I am guessing it is because the state would have to first take each individual to court before garnishing, but no such requirement exists for the revoking. Court would be prohibitively expensive and time consuming. Revoking of the licenses is the fast and cheap way to get their attention and start a dialog about a repayment plan.
