SB 104 narrows who can file mechanics' liens (claims by workers and suppliers to get paid for work on property) by requiring that they only file liens when hired directly by the property owner or an authorized agent, rather than allowing liens from workers hired further down the chain through contractors or subcontractors. The bill removes language that currently allows subcontractors and their suppliers to file liens, meaning only those with direct agreements with the owner or owner's representative can claim a lien against the property if they're not paid.
