Summary
The bill adds a new step to the mechanics lien process for owner‑occupied single‑family homes. Before a contractor can record a lien, they must check whether the home has a senior citizen homestead exemption and, if it does, send the owner a pre‑lien notice at least 15 days before recording. The owner then has 15 days to dispute the lien and can sue to have it reduced or removed if the contractor didn’t follow the rules.
