The bill amends the Michigan Marina and Boatyard Storage Lien Act by updating the conditions under which a facility owner can enforce a lien on property. Specifically, it establishes that a facility owner may enforce a lien if a property owner is in default for more than 60 days without a prior lienholder or more than 180 days with a prior lienholder. The bill also clarifies the process for notifying property owners and lienholders of the lien, including the requirement to send a notice of default and publish an advertisement of the sale. Additionally, it specifies the order in which proceeds from the sale must be applied, including covering the facility owner's expenses, satisfying the lien, and paying any surplus to the property owner.

Furthermore, the bill introduces several changes to the language regarding liability and access to the storage facility. It limits the facility owner's liability to the net proceeds from the sale and allows property owners access to the facility during normal business hours for specific purposes. The bill also modifies the language concerning notices, ensuring they are sent to the correct addresses and clarifying the delivery process. Overall, these amendments aim to streamline the lien enforcement process while protecting the rights of property owners and lienholders.
