   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.
