Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
An abstract of a judgment obtained pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 14172 or a copy thereof may be recorded with the county recorder of any county. From the time of recording, the judgment shall constitute a lien upon all real or personal property of the provider in that county owned by the provider at the time, or which the provider may afterwards but before the lien expires, acquire. The lien shall have the force, effect and priority of a judgment lien and shall continue for 10 years from the time of recording of the abstract of judgment obtained pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 14172 unless sooner released or otherwise discharged.
The lien may, within 10 years from the date of recording of the abstract of judgment or within 10 years from the date of the last extension of the lien in the manner herein provided, be extended by recording a new abstract in the office of the county recorder of any county. From the date of such recording the lien shall be extended for 10 years unless sooner released or otherwise discharged.
Execution shall issue upon such a judgment upon request of the director in the same manner as execution may issue upon other judgments. Sale shall be held under such execution as prescribed in the Code of Civil Procedure. In all proceedings under this section, the director or his authorized agents may act on behalf of the state.
