   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Subdivision 7 of section 9 of the lien law, as amended by a
 chapter of the laws of 2019, amending the lien law relating to  disclos-
 ing  if  the property subject to lien is real property improved or to be
 improved with a single family dwelling, as proposed in legislative bills
 numbers S. 5491 and A. 4766-B, is amended to read as follows:
   7. The property subject to the lien, with a description thereof suffi-
 cient for identification; and if in a city or village, its  location  by
 street and number, if known; whether the property subject to the lien is
 [(a)]  real  property  improved  or  to be improved with a single family
 dwelling or [(b)] not [real property improved or to be improved  with  a
 single  family  dwelling]. A failure to state the name of the true owner
 or contractor, or a misdescription of the true owner, shall  not  affect
 the  validity  of the lien. The notice must be verified by the lienor or
 his agent, to the effect that the statements therein contained are  true
 to  his  knowledge except as to the matters therein stated to be alleged
 on information and belief, and that as to those matters he  believes  it
 to be true.
   §  2.  This  act  shall  take  effect on the same date and in the same
 manner as a chapter of the laws of 2019, amending the lien law  relating
 to  disclosing if the property subject to lien is real property improved
 or to be improved with a single family dwelling, as proposed in legisla-
 tive bills numbers S. 5491 and A. 4766-B, takes effect.
