Provides for the continuation of a mechanic's lien which has been discharged by undertaking for a period of three years from the commencement of a foreclosure action.

March 20, 2026

Summary

If enacted, this bill would extend the duration of a mechanic's lien that has been discharged by undertaking to three years from the commencement of a foreclosure action, rather than expiring after one year. This change primarily affects construction lenders and property owners by prolonging the lien's enforceability. The bill does not directly impact mortgage origination or servicing but may influence title clearance and foreclosure timelines for properties with construction work.
