AI Summary
This bill amends Section 8 of Chapter 44B of the Massachusetts General Laws to increase the surcharge on fees charged by registers of deeds and assistant recorders for recording certain documents and instruments. The surcharge is increased from $20 to $80 for most recordings, and from $10 to $40 for municipal lien certificates. The additional revenue generated from these increased surcharges is to be used for community preservation purposes and deposited into the Massachusetts Community Preservation Trust Fund. The bill also provides for a 120-day implementation period before the new surcharge amounts take effect.
