Summary
The bill mandates that a building permit for a one‑ or two‑family home be visibly posted on the property from the start of construction until the work is finished. It also requires anyone seeking a mechanics' lien to notify the lien agent named on that permit within 30 days, otherwise the lien is limited to work done after the notice. The measure aims to improve transparency and protect property owners by ensuring lien agents are identified early.
