  • Requires that the address of the person holding the lien be contained in the judgment, order, decree, or final order of the state agency, or on a separate affidavit recorded simultaneously with the document.

  • Establishes that liens created under this section last for an initial period of 10 years from the date of recording and may be extended for additional 10-year periods by rerecording the certified copy and filing a current address affidavit before expiration.

  • Permits liens to be transferred from real property to other security through deposits of money or surety bonds, with service charges of up to $15 for the clerk's certificate of transfer and up to $7.50 per additional lien for multiple transfers.

  • Takes effect July 1, 2012, and applies to all court judgments, orders, and decrees as well as final orders issued by state agencies that constitute a lien on real property.
