Bill Summary
Relative to private construction contract liens. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing laws related to private construction contract liens in Massachusetts. It allows a lien that is dissolved to be re-filed or re-recorded within 7 days after the registration or recording of a first mortgage, and this re-filed lien would still be subject to the original lien provisions, including being able to claim against the retainage withheld from the lien claimant. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a dissolved and re-filed lien under this new provision would not be considered a dissolution for the purposes of certain construction contract requirements, and it also extends the deadline for certain construction contract notice requirements from 30 days to 31 days.
