| This bill amends the laws governing mechanics liens to require |
| a lien claimant who has preserved a lien by filing an action in |
| court to file a certificate or copy of the complaint in the |
| registry of deeds within 30 days of bringing the action. Under |
| current law, a lien claimant must file an action within a |
| specified period but is not required to file evidence of the |
| commencement of the action in the registry of deeds. |
