SB 2150 Rhode Island Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT RELATING TO COURTS AND CIVIL PROCEDURE -- PROCEDURE GENERALLY -- JUDGMENTS, ORDERS, AND DECREES

SB 2150 requires creditors to send written notice of a judgment lien to the property owner within ten business days of recording the lien with the county. This directly affects creditors who place liens on property and property owners who may be unaware of such claims against their assets. The key provision sets a strict 10-business-day timeline for delivering this notice, replacing the previous lack of a specific deadline. The bill aims to provide clearer and timelier information about liens affecting property ownership.
