The Mechanics Lien Act handles liens against public property of the state, its political subdivisions and public agencies differently than liens against private property. General contractors have no lien rights. However, subcontractors have lien rights against funds due the general contractor from the public body or agency. Under Section 23 of the Act, the subcontractor only need show that it had furnished labor, material or other services for a contractor for a public improvement. The subcontractor need not show that it had a contract with the original contractor. The lien is not against the building or improvement, but only against money, bonds or warrants.
