Bill > SB0102

This bill modifies the existing law regarding fees and procedures for county treasurers when providing transcripts and records, with a particular focus on electronic record requests. The bill maintains existing fee structures for paper transcripts and abstracts, such as 25 cents per year for tax abstracts and 25 cents per 100 words for document copies, while introducing new provisions specifically for electronic data file requests. For electronic records, the bill caps the maximum charge at 30 cents per parcel record, not exceeding $2,000 per request, and requires that electronic records be transmitted in an open standards format with defined fields. The bill mandates that county treasurers provide specific types of electronic property information if available, including property values, sale data, ownership details, tax bill amounts, and other relevant tax and property information. The legislation also includes a provision preventing the resale of obtained electronic records for commercial purposes and clarifies that treasurers are only required to provide information they currently maintain. Notably, the bill adds language to ensure that requests for both winter and summer tax bill amounts are considered a single request, maintaining the $2,000 maximum charge.
