<p class="MsoNormal"><b>But Adam, the recorded NOC is supposed to be presented to the Building Dept. at the time of Permit issuance. It should be incumbent upon the contractor to verify that the NOC has been properly recorded with the bond referenced and attached
at the time of permitting. Likewise, the owner would want the bond to be so noted in the NOC since to the extent of payments made, the owner’s property is shielded from the lien. More importantly, this Amended Bill would force a lienor to be constantly having
to search the Public Records to see if a 713.245 bond has been recorded since there is no mechanism to have the contractor notify lienors having given notice prior to the recording.<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The problem with the comment below Dan’s is that it entirely misses the fact that the responsibility to prepare and record the NOC falls to the Owner or Lender, not the Contractor. So the suggestion that the
Contractor is somehow being sneaky is misleading. Rather, the whole purpose of the suggested change is to avoid penalizing the Contractor for something the Owner/Lender does that is not within the Contractor’s control (i.e., preparing and recording the NOC
and deciding what is attached to it and what is not). Further, what makes the current situation even more problematic is the fact that the Owner/Lender (the parties preparing and recording the NOC) are incentivized to not record the NOC properly (by failing
to reference or attach the bond).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Stated simply, the goal is to modify the statute so that the GC is not penalized for something that is not within the GC’s control, not to sneak something by anyone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a secrete bond that comes out only when a claim is made. My guy may not have wanted to do the job I they knew the bond was conditional. But was he given any knowledge, any choice, or was the knowledge hidden (in plain sight buried in the public records)? If
you want to buy a conditional bond, go buy one. That’s the market at work. But don’t hide that fact. It appears that the people pushing this idea know full well that a conditional bond sucks and they want to hide that fact. Come on, be proud of your conditional

<p class="MsoNormal">Working in Miami for the past 20 years, where a large portion of the subs speak mainly Spanish, the notice of non payment amendment will certainly make it more difficult for these companies to perfect their claims without the assistance
of counsel. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">On 713.245 amendment, what is the purpose of recording the notice identifying bond as conditional if nothing occurs if it is not recorded ?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">And isnt 713.245 supposed to sunset at some point? No owner with half a brain will purchase one of these bonds especially since as I understand it, they cost the same as a 713.23 bond. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, why would the legislature equate a notice of non payment to an encumbrance on real estate?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, am I reading this amendment right so that if passed, 627.428 will apply to a payment bond claimant’s fee claim - net judgment instead of significant issues? <o:p></o:p></p>
