The bill amends the Construction Lien Act of 1980 by updating definitions and clarifying terms used within the legislation. Notably, it introduces new definitions for "Lessee," "Lien claimant," and "Mobile home," while also modifying the definition of "Owner" to exclude the previous reference to a land contract. Additionally, the definition of "Residential structure" is expanded to include mobile homes, and the term "Subcontractor" is revised to clarify the language regarding contracts.
Furthermore, the bill maintains existing definitions for terms such as "Person," "Professional services," "Project," and "Supplier," while also providing a clear definition for "Wages." These changes aim to enhance the clarity and applicability of the Construction Lien Act, ensuring that all parties involved in construction projects have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities under the law.
