Previously, this statute required payment of the $100 deposit to the Clerk prior to issuance of the
writ. However, an amendment to FLA. STAT. § 77.28 effective July 1, 2014 abolished the requirement of a
deposit with the Clerk, instead requiring only that the garnishor pay the garnishee $100 upon demand.
