Sec. 2. (a) All laborers and other persons who perform a service or furnish materials in the construction of the work under this chapter have a lien upon the fund raised for the construction of the work. Upon notice in writing filed with the county treasurer of the amount due and what the amount is for, the treasurer shall withhold payment to the contractor on any warrant drawn in the contractor's favor in an amount sufficient to satisfy the lien, until the amount is adjusted.
(b) If the contractor and the person claiming the lien disagree on the amount or validity of the lien, the court shall, on motion of the superintendent, contractor, or person claiming the lien, determine the matter.
(c) On failure to comply with this section, the superintendent is liable on the superintendent's bond for any amount improperly paid over to the contractor.
