<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Larry: As you well know, bifurcating construction liens into residential and non-residential probably hasten the day the legislature abolishes ALL such liens on residential property (as has been proposed numerous
times). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In addition, this particular statute (NJ), appears to require that the arbitration proceedings take place BEFORE a lien can even be recorded, and may not require the owner to be a party to the arbitration (I’d
not be surprised if it was intended for the owner to be a party, but it’s not real clear).</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">We hear from time to time that residential (Ma & Pa) construction liens should be treated differently from the typical commercial lien. The next time we hear about that we may want to look at something akin to
what New Jersey implemented in January, 2011, copy attached. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I just put it out there for reaction from the committee, without recommendation for or against. If it were to be considered, it would need a little surgery to make it comport with Florida procedure. I just found
it interesting and thought I would share.</p>
