S 1005 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

LIENS OF MECHANICS AND MATERIALMEN – Amends existing law to remove a provision regarding priority of hearings.

This bill removes a specific rule that previously gave lien claimants (like contractors and material suppliers) priority for court hearings on construction-related debts. It eliminates the requirement allowing them to demand a hearing within 30 days by filing a "demand for thirty (30) day setting." The change affects how quickly these lien cases can be scheduled in Idaho courts, removing the expedited hearing process while keeping other lien claim provisions unchanged. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
