Effective July 1, all of the existing statutes governing mechanics liens, stop notices and payment bonds in California will be repealed and replaced by updated statutes.

In September 2010, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. signed into law SB 189, which makes a number of significant changes to the laws governing the creation and enforcement of mechanics liens in California (the "Mechanics Lien Law"). The law will also result in new statutes governing stop notices (on both public and private works), payment bonds and related claims.
