A 6141 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Modifies time in which lien claim form for commercial construction may be filed.

This bill extends the deadline for commercial construction contractors and suppliers to file lien claims from 90 days to 240 days after the last work, services, materials, or equipment were provided. It directly affects businesses in the commercial construction sector who have not received payment for their work. The key change modifies Section 6 of New Jersey's Construction Lien Law (P.L.1993, c.318), specifying that the 240-day period begins on the date the claimant last provided work or materials. This adjustment provides more time for these claimants to legally secure payment through the lien process.
