House concurs with Senate on lien-recovery amendments to HB219; body approves under suspension of rules
Summary
The House agreed to Senate amendments to Second Substitute House Bill 219 (Residence Lien Recovery Fund), removing a homeowner building‑permit trigger and allowing the division flexibility on a 30‑day notice requirement; the House concurred and approved the bill, 68‑0.
House members voted to concur with Senate amendments to Second Substitute House Bill 219, which adjusts the Residence Lien Recovery Fund’s eligibility rules. Representative Dillery explained on the floor that the adopted changes remove a prior requirement that a homeowner must have obtained a building permit to be eligible and relax a strict 30‑day notice provision so the division can exercise flexibility when applicants meet other date‑sensitive criteria.
Under suspension of the rules Representative Dillery moved that the bill be read for first, second and third readings and be placed on final passage. The motion to waive the usual reading schedule carried, and the House then voted to concur with the Senate amendments. The roll call announced on the floor recorded 68 yes votes and 0 no votes; the bill was returned to the Senate for the President’s signature.
Representative Dillery said the intent is to make the fund friendlier to homeowners who have liens placed against them by removing procedural barriers that were preventing otherwise‑eligible claimants from receiving assistance.
