HB 4660

Abstract

Amends the Mechanics Lien Act. Removes language providing for notice by a subcontractor for an owner-occupied single-family from a provision regarding notice by a contractor for an owner-occupied single-family. In a provision regarding subcontractor liens, requires the notice provided by the subcontractor to contain, in addition to other requirements, the type of labor, services, fixtures, apparatus or machinery, or forms or form work delivered and to be delivered. Makes other changes. Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 Adds reference to: 770 ILCS 60/24 from Ch. 82, par. 24 Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the engrossed bill, and makes the following changes. Requires a subcontractor, or party furnishing labor, materials, fixtures, apparatus, machinery, or services, to cause a notice of his or her claim and the amount due or to become due to the owner of record or the owner of record's agent or architect, or the superintendent having charge of the building or improvement, and, to the lending agency, if known. Requires the written notice to be sent by: (i) registered or certified mail, with return receipt requested; (ii) a nationally recognized delivery company with tracking service; or (iii) personal service. Provides that notice is considered served at the time the written notice is placed with the delivery service or in the mail.
