1 AN ACT to amend the Mechanics Lien Act.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Mechanics Lien Act is amended by changing
5 Section 3 as follows:
6 (770 ILCS 60/3) (from Ch. 82, par. 3)
7 Sec. 3. Married persons' lands. If any such services or
8 labor are performed upon or materials are furnished for lands
9 belonging to any married person, with the married person's
10 knowledge and not against the married person's protest in
11 writing, as provided in Section 1 of this Act, in pursuance
12 of a contract with the spouse of such married person, the
13 person furnishing such labor or materials shall have a lien
14 upon such property, the same as if such contract had been
15 made with the married person, and in case the title to such
16 lands upon which improvements are made is held by husband and
17 wife jointly, the lien given by this act shall attach to such
18 lands and improvements, if the improvements be made in
19 pursuance of a contract with both of them, or in pursuance of
20 a contract with either of them, and in such cases no claim of
21 homestead right set up by a husband or wife shall defeat the
22 lien given by this Act.
