OPINION
THOMAS L. PERKINS, Bankruptcy Judge.
The Illinois Legislature has not chosen to include a general exemption for wages in the Illinois Personal Property Exemption law. It has, however, in two separate statutes, set a ceiling on the amount of a debtor’s wages that may be garnished under a wage deduction order and a wage assignment. The question raised in this case is whether those two statutes should be construed as creating an exemption in the nongarnishable wages that should be allowed to a debtor in bankruptcy pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 522(b)(2).
