This act allows an employee or official of the state, including an agency, board, or commission of the state, any higher education institution, or any political subdivision, intergovernmental agency, or unit of local government to reject for recording or filing any document such person believes is not presented by a financial or lending institution and may be a spurious lien or document.

Under this act, such person shall not be held liable for the acceptance or rejection of any document the person reasonably believes in good faith may be spurious, nor shall such person be obligated to accept any lien against a federal, state, or local official or employee based on the performance of that person's duties unless the lien is accompanied by a state or federal court order.

This act provides that no spurious lien or document shall affect real or personal property longer than 35 days after filing or recording unless an action has begun to enforce the lien or document in state or federal court or a notice of lis pendens has been recorded or filed in the same office as the lien or document.

Anyone whose property is affected by a lien or document may petition the circuit or federal court for an order to show cause why the lien or document should not be declared invalid. Such order shall direct any lien claimant or the person who recorded or filed the lien or document to appear before the court to show cause why the lien or document should not be declared invalid. If the claimant, filer, or recorder does not appear or the court determines the lien or document is spurious, the court must enter an order invalidating the lien or document and order payment for the petitioner's costs, including attorneys' fees. If the court determines the lien or document not to be spurious, then it must order the petitioner to pay the respondent's costs, including attorneys' fees.

These provisions are similar to HB 866 (2013).

The court must order the testing if the victim requested it or the court finds good cause to be shown. In addition, the act requires that such testing occur within 48 hours of the date on which the defendant was charged. The court must also order any requested follow-up testing that is determined to be medically necessary.

Noone may be convicted of false identification to a law enforcement officer unless certain evidence is present proving the falsity of the statement that is currently required for other crimes involving false statements.

It is a defense to the crime that the defendant retracted the false representation before the officer, or anyone else, substantially relied on it.

In addition, the crime of making a false declaration is modified so that a person commits the Class B misdemeanor if he or she provides a verbal false statement regarding his or her identity which he or she believes or knows is not true.
