    Sec. 2. No person or corporation shall disburse funds to or for the account of, or as directed by, a contractor pursuant to an issuance or transfer thereto of a negotiable instrument evidencing a loan for improvement or repair of (including remodeling of and additions to) a residential structure without requiring and receiving prior to each such disbursement a completion certificate as prescribed by this Act. Acceptance by such person or corporation of a completion certificate in the prescribed form, without actual knowledge of any falsity of such certificate, entitles such person or corporation to all rights of a holder in due course of such negotiable instrument notwithstanding any actual falsity of such certificate.
