Liens on aircraft: sale.
- Strengthens notification requirements for aircraft lien sales when owners fail to pay for services or storage.
- Requires posting sale notices in five public places instead of three when no local newspaper exists.
- Mandates notification at the aircraft's airport location if known.
- Requires sending registered mail notice to aircraft owners 20 days before any lien sale.
Assembly Member Papan's legislation modifies notification requirements for aircraft lienholders seeking to sell property to satisfy unpaid debts for services, materials, or storage. The measure revises existing procedures that allow public auction sales when payment remains outstanding after 10 days.
Under the proposed changes, in jurisdictions without a county newspaper, lienholders must post sale notices in five public locations where aircraft are commonly sold, an increase from the current three-location requirement. The bill adds airports housing the affected aircraft as an additional mandatory posting site when that location can be determined. Lienholders must also provide 20 days' advance notice via registered mail to the aircraft's registered legal owner before proceeding with any sale.
The notification provisions maintain the existing framework allowing possessory liens on aircraft while expanding public notice requirements. The measure contains no appropriations and requires only a majority vote for passage.
