HB 1913 Mechanics' liens; licensed contractors.
Introduced by: Scott A. Surovell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Mechanics' liens; licensed contractors. Provides that a person who is not a licensed contractor may not claim a mechanic's lien if a valid contractor's license or certificate was required by law for the labor performed. The bill also requires that a person include on the memorandum for a mechanic's lien his license or certificate number and the dates such license or certificate was issued and will expire or certify that a license or certificate was not required by law for the labor performed; however, an inaccuracy in such license or certificate information that must be included in the memorandum does not bar the perfection of a mechanic's lien if the lien claimant can otherwise be reasonably identified in the records of the Board for Contractors.
