Bill Summary

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 411 to establish exclusive jurisdiction for contractor dispute actions involving real property located in this state.

AI Summary

This bill establishes that Kentucky courts will have the sole authority, or "exclusive jurisdiction," to hear any lawsuits related to work done by a contractor on property located within the state, with a minor exception for matters covered under KRS Chapter 3. This means that even if a contractor or property owner has connections to another state, any disputes concerning construction or repair work on Kentucky real estate must be resolved in Kentucky's legal system. The bill clarifies that "real property" in this context is broadly defined to include not only the land itself, but also any rights or interests associated with it, such as leases, easements, fixtures (items permanently attached to the property), and any buildings or structures on the land.
