Montana HB465 revises laws relating to actions to foreclose a lien. It mandates that anyone filing an action against a contracting owner must submit a notice of action to foreclose the lien with the clerk and recorder within 90 days of the expiration of the 2-year limitation period. The notice must include the parties involved, the court location, and the complaint filing date, with a copy of the complaint attached. Failure to file the notice within the specified timeframe results in the discharge of the lien.
