      770 ILCS 60/21.05 new
          Amends the Mechanics Lien Act.  Provides  that  a  person
      who   furnishes   labor,   services,  or  materials  for  the
      improvement of  lands  and  who  does  not  have  privity  of
      contract  with  the  contractor  must, in addition to meeting
      other Act requirements for perfection of  his  or  her  lien,
      give  a  written  Notice  of Furnishing if the person without
      privity is furnishing the labor, services, or  materials  for
      an  improvement project on which a Notice of Commencement has
      been filed  by  the  owner,  owner's  agent,  or  contractor.
      Prescribes the required content of and the time and manner of
      giving  and  filing  the  Notice  of Furnishing and Notice of
      Commencement.  Makes the  Notice  of  Furnishing  requirement
      inapplicable to a subcontractor, materialman, or other person
      who, after proper written request, is not timely given a copy
      of  the  Notice  of Commencement.  Provides for the manner in
      which the request for the copy and the giving of the copy are
      made.  Renders all new notice requirements inapplicable if  a
      Notice  of  Commencement  is not filed. Exempts laborers from
      serving a Notice of Furnishing.
