Currently, a lien may not attach to a homestead for a home improvement loan if the home-owner executed a contract for the improvements less than 12 days after applying for the loan. In ad-dition, the proposed amendment would authorize the conversion and refinance of a personal lien secured by a manufactured home to a lien on a homestead. The proposed amendment would apply to land whose owners have disputed title to the land, but for which no patent from the state, giving clear title to the land, was ever issued. Among other requirements, all of the taxes due on the land must have been paid. Under current law, there is no procedure allowing the state to settle title disputes without a con-stitutional amendment for each piece of land in dispute.
Current law limits the amount of bonds the board can issue.
