Copy as parenthetical citation

Any mechanic's lien which has expired because of failure to comply with the time limitations of section 49-39 is automatically extinguished and the continued existence of the lien unreleased of record in no way affects the record owner's title nor the marketability of the same.

(1971, P.A. 181, S. 1; P.A. 79-602, S. 97.)

History: P.A. 79-602 removed provision re automatic extinguishment of judgment lien which expires for failure to comply with time limits in Sec. 49-46 and made minor changes in wording in remaining provision.
