AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 3023

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 3023 on page 3, by replacing lines 13 through 21 with the following:

"(d) An agreement to waive any right to enforce or claim any lien under this Act, or an agreement to subordinate the lien, where the agreement is in anticipation of and in consideration for the awarding of a contract or subcontract, either express or implied, to perform work or supply materials for an improvement upon real property is against public policy and unenforceable. This Section does not prohibit release of lien under subsection (b) of Section 35 of this Act, nor does it prohibit an agreement to subordinate a mechanics lien to a mortgage lien that secures a construction loan if that agreement is made after more than 50% of the loan has been disbursed to fund improvements to the property or prohibit subordination of the lien, except as provided in Section 21."; and

on page 8, by inserting immediately below line 13 the following:

"Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming law.".
