Bill > HF328

Introduced Session

Under current law, county recorders must participate in the county land record information system and must comply with the policies and procedures established by the governing board of the county land record information system. This bill requires county recorders to upload data and images of recorded documents to the county land record information system and removes the requirement for county recorders to comply with the policies and procedures established by the governing board of the county land record information system. The bill requires the county land record information system to allow for uploading from each county’s recording software provider. The bill provides that the $1 fee paid on each recorded transaction for the purpose of maintaining the statewide internet site be for the statewide internet site dedicated to preserving and maintaining public records. The bill removes the following purposes for which the $1 additional fee is to be used: establishing and implementing standards for recording, processing, and archiving electronic documents and records; integrating information contained in documents and records maintained by the recorder and other land record information from other sources with the county land record information system; and implementing and maintaining a process for redacting personally identifiable information contained in electronic documents that are displayed for public access through an internet site or that are transferred to another person. A board of supervisors or other alternative form of county government may vote to adopt an additional fee, not to exceed $10 per transaction, to be paid to the recorder when filing or recording an instrument in the recorder’s office pursuant to Code section 331.604.
