Summary

The bill revises Utah’s Wrongful Lien Act to broaden what counts as a wrongful lien and to declare a notice of transfer‑fee covenant a wrongful lien if it is not enforceable. It also relieves county recorders from having to decide whether such a notice is wrongful in certain situations. The changes protect property owners and clarify recorder responsibilities.
