CALIFORNIA SB 189 mandates that General Contractors begin serving Preliminary Notices to construction lenders on private works projects (Commercial, Exisiting Residential, New Residential) starting July 1, 2012.

As part of this change in procedure, a new CA Preliminary Notice will become mandatory for all contractors starting July 1, 2012. The wording “20-day” will no longer be allowed in the notice.

TRADITION SOFTWARE will make available the new Preliminary Notice and explanations for new notice procedures during the first week of June next year.
