     3  ing if the property subject to lien is real property improved or  to  be
     4  improved with a single family dwelling, as proposed in legislative bills

     6    7. The property subject to the lien, with a description thereof suffi-
     7  cient  for  identification; and if in a city or village, its location by
     8  street and number, if known; whether the property subject to the lien is

    12  or  contractor,  or a misdescription of the true owner, shall not affect
    13  the validity of the lien. The notice must be verified by the  lienor  or
    14  his  agent, to the effect that the statements therein contained are true
    15  to his knowledge except as to the matters therein stated to  be  alleged

    17  to be true.
    18    § 2. This act shall take effect on the  same  date  and  in  the  same
    19  manner  as a chapter of the laws of 2019, amending the lien law relating

    21  or to be improved with a single family dwelling, as proposed in legisla-
    22  tive bills numbers S. 5491 and A. 4766-B, takes effect.
