  1  1    Section 1.  Section 572.33, Code 1999, is amended to read
  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    572.33  REQUIREMENT OF NOTIFICATION.
  1  4    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter
  1  5 provision of the Code to the contrary, and in addition to all
  1  6 other requirements of this chapter, a claim by a person
  1  7 furnishing labor or only materials to a subcontractor who is
  1  8 also furnishing only materials to the principal contractor
  1  9 shall not be entitled to a lien under this chapter unless the
  1 10 person furnishing labor or materials does all of the
  1 11 following:
  1 12    1.  Notifies the owner and to the subcontractor notifies
  1 13 the principal contractor within thirty days of the furnishing
  1 14 of the labor or materials for which a lien claim is made,
  1 15 including the amount, kind, and value of the labor or
  1 16 materials furnished.
  1 17    2.  Supports and supports the lien claim with a certified
  1 18 statement that the principal contractor was notified within
  1 19 thirty days after the labor or materials were furnished of the
  1 20 amount, kind, and value of the labor or materials furnished.  
  1 21                           EXPLANATION 
  1 22    This bill amends Code section 572.33, regarding mechanics'
  1 23 liens on labor and materials furnished to a subcontractor.
  1 24 The bill removes changes made to the section by the general
  1 25 assembly in the 1998 Session, returning the scope of the
  1 26 section to persons who furnish only materials to a
  1 27 subcontractor who is also furnishing only materials to a
  1 28 principal contractor.  The bill would require such persons to
  1 29 notify the principal contractor within 30 days of furnishing
  1 30 the materials, and to support the lien claim with a certified
  1 31 statement attesting to the 30-day notification, in addition to
  1 32 all other requirements under the chapter, in order to be
  1 33 entitled to a mechanic's lien.
