Bill > HB1915

This bill aims to protect the rights of individuals or entities holding a "superior interest" in property that becomes involved in a receivership proceeding, which is a legal process where a court appoints someone to manage property or a business. Essentially, the bill prevents a receivership from negatively impacting or stopping someone who has a legally established priority claim to that property, such as a lender with a prior recorded mortgage or a secured creditor with a prior filed Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) financing statement, unless that superior interest holder explicitly agrees. The bill clarifies that taking action to enforce their superior interest does not automatically mean they consent to the receivership, and if they intervene in the receivership to prove their superior interest, they can be awarded their attorney fees and costs if successful, and the court cannot then limit their rights.
