summary
This amendment is the majority report of the committee and replaces the bill. Unless a specific time period is otherwise provided, the amendment requires a lienholder to remove a lien issued pursuant to the laws of this State no later than 60 days after a lien has been satisfied. The amendment also clarifies that the requirement does not apply to financing statements filed pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The bill requires removal of a lien within 30 days and applies to all liens filed under state law. The amendment requires a lienholder to provide written notice by first-class mail of the lien's removal to any person provided notice at the time the lien was originally filed. The amendment also provides that a lienholder other than a municipality that fails to remove a lien is liable to a debtor or owner of the property for damages.
