Bill Summary
Relative to private construction contract liens. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to address private construction contract liens. Specifically, it allows a lien that is dissolved to be re-filed or re-recorded within 7 days of the registration or recording of a first mortgage, and such a lien can still avail against the first mortgage to the extent of any retainage withheld from the lien claimant. The bill also extends the deadline for cancelling a construction contract from 30 to 31 days. These changes aim to provide more protections for lien claimants in private construction projects while balancing the interests of mortgage lenders.
