What’s in it
AI summary People who work on construction projects can only file a legal claim against a property in the specific county where the work happened. If someone uses a bond instead of a lien to protect themselves, the person who wins the legal case may be able to have their lawyer fees paid.1

This bill specifies that a perfected mechanic’s lien shall be limited to the county or counties in which the building, land, or improvement to be charged with the lien is situated. The bill also provides that, in addition to an action to enforce a mechanic’s lien, attorney fees may be awarded to a prevailing plaintiff in an action brought upon any bond given in lieu of a mechanic’s lien.
