Article 3 - Enforcement of Liens on Real Property
60 - Judgment in Action to Foreclose Lien on Account of Public Improvement.

§ 60. Judgment in action to foreclose lien on account of public
improvement. If, in an action to enforce a lien on account of a public
improvement, the court finds that the lien is established, it shall
render judgment directing the state or the public corporation to pay
over to the lienors entitled thereto for work done or material furnished
for such public improvement, to the extent of the sums found due the
lienors from the contractors, so much of the funds or money which may be
due from the state or public corporation to the contractor, as will
satisfy such liens, with interest and costs, not exceeding the amount
due to the contractor. If it appears in any proceeding in which the
state is a party that a claim has been or can be filed against the state
in the court of claims, or if it is alleged upon the part of the state
that the contractor has breached the contract, then the court may render
judgment only to the extent of determining the establishment of the lien
or liens, and the amount or amounts thereof.
