Bill Summary

Relative to notes of contracts and dissolutions of liens. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 254 of the General Laws to modify the requirements for dissolving liens under Sections 2 and 4. Specifically, it establishes new timelines for filing statements to maintain a lien, including 90 days after the filing of a notice of substantial completion, 120 days after the filing of a notice of termination, or 120 days after the last day of labor or material provision. For residential properties with 1-4 dwelling units, a homeowner can dissolve the lien by filing an affidavit stating they are unaware of any outstanding debt, five years after the filing of the original notice of contract. The bill also clarifies that statements can be filed prior to the filing of the notices under Sections 2A and 2B.
