On page 2, line 6, of the Introduced bill, delete "Entitlement to a first lien, as provided for in this section, does not extend to a contractor or subcontractor, who furnishes skill, labor, services, or materials, for the development, improvement, operation, or repair of a public highway or roadway, if the development, improvement, operation, or repair is undertaken principally for the benefit of a private entity that is not the owner of the abutting property." and insert " The owner of real property upon which a county highway or road has been constructed, improved, maintained, or repaired is not liable for the cost of the project, and no lien under chapter 44-9 may be attached to the real property as security for payment of the costs, unless the real property owner agreed in writing to pay all or a portion of the cost of the project."
