Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Mechanics Lien Act. Adds, to the provisions concerning a written demand by an owner of real estate to a mechanics lienholder stating that the lienholder must file suit within 30 days or the lien is forfeited, the requirement that this express warning be included in the written demand: the failure to respond to the notice within 30 days after receipt of the notice results in forfeiture of the lien.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
770 ILCS 60/16from Ch. 82, par. 16

Further amends the Mechanics Lien Act. Describes "lien creditor". Provides that upon any questions arising between incumbrancers and lien creditors, all previous incumbrances shall be preferred only to the extent of the value of the land at the time of making of the contract for improvements (instead of preferred to the extent of the value of the land) but shall not be preferred to the value of any subsequent improvements at the time of making of the contract (instead of preferred to the extent of the value of the land), and each lien creditor shall be preferred to the value of all subsequent improvements erected on the premises, whether or not provided by the lien creditor (instead of preferred to the value of the improvements erected on said premises), and the court shall ascertain what proportion of the proceeds of any sale shall be paid to the parties in interest. Provides that when the sale proceeds are insufficient to satisfy claims of both prior incumbrancers and lien creditors, the sale proceeds shall be distributed in this manner: any previous incumbrancer has a paramount lien in the portion of the proceeds attributable to the value of the land at the time of making of the contract for improvements; and any lien creditors have a paramount lien in the portion of the proceeds attributable to all subsequent improvements made to the property. Effective immediately.
