MI SB0733

Amends Michigan's mechanic's lien law (1846 RS 126) to add protections for persons caring for abandoned animals.

Allows a person caring for an abandoned animal to enforce a lien and sell the animal at public sale after possessing it for 60 days without payment (reduced from 9 months for other property).

Requires 30 days' notice by registered mail to the owner before selling an abandoned animal, using the same notice form as required for other property.

Defines "abandoned animal" to include horses, mules, cattle, sheep, or swine that are not picked up or paid for after being delivered to a person's care, left with a local government, or found and taken in by a local government.

Specifies that sale proceeds must cover the lien, costs, and animal care expenses, with any balance paid to the local township clerk for the owner's benefit or reverting to the lienholder if not claimed within 60 days.
