In this subsection, the term lien includes— a lien— for storage, repair, or cleaning of the property or effects of a Federal worker; and on the property or effects described in clause
(i)for any reason other than a reason described in that clause; and a loan that a Federal worker has obtained with respect to a motor vehicle. A person holding a lien on the property or effects of a Federal worker may not, during a covered period, foreclose on or enforce that lien without the order of a court that was issued before the date on which that foreclosure or enforcement occurs. In a proceeding to foreclose on or enforce a lien that is subject to this section, a court may, upon the motion of the court, and shall, if requested by a Federal worker, the ability of whom to comply with the obligation resulting in the proceeding is materially affected by a shutdown— stay the proceedings for a period of 30 days after the covered period, unless, in the opinion of the court, justice and equity require a longer or shorter period of time; or adjust the obligation to preserve the interests of all parties.
