Liens: construction; certain liens on manufactured homes; allow. Amends secs. 105 & 106 of 1980 PA 497 (MCL 570.1105 & 570.1106).
HB 5542 amends Michigan's Construction Lien Act to clarify that mobile homes qualify as "residential structures" under lien law. This change directly affects contractors, suppliers, and laborers who install or improve mobile homes where the owner or lessee will reside. The bill updates key definitions (in sections 105 and 106) to explicitly include mobile homes within the scope of construction liens, ensuring these workers can file liens for unpaid work on mobile home improvements. The amendment aligns mobile home projects with standard lien protections for other residential properties.
