Bill > HB0253

This bill modifies Wyoming's construction lien law by changing the preliminary notice requirements for contractors, subcontractors, and materialmen. Specifically, the bill revises the timeframe for when notices must be sent, shifting from "within thirty (30) days after first providing services or materials to the construction project" to "before final payment by the owner to the general contractor". The bill also introduces an important protection for subcontractors and materialmen: if a contractor fails to provide required information (as outlined in W.S. 29-2-113), a subcontractor or materialman will not be barred from asserting a lien, even if they missed the original notice deadline. These changes aim to provide more flexibility and fairness in the construction lien process, ensuring that parties are not unfairly penalized due to a lack of information from the general contractor. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, giving stakeholders time to understand and prepare for the new requirements.
