AI Summary
This bill modifies Section 15 of Chapter 36 of the Massachusetts General Laws regarding document recording methods. Specifically, the bill removes the term "micrographic process" and requires that documents be entered "in a format approved by the Secretary of the Commonwealth." This change appears to update the language around document recording to provide more flexibility in how documents can be recorded, potentially allowing for modern digital recording methods while ensuring that the Secretary of the Commonwealth has oversight and approval of the recording format. The bill seems aimed at modernizing the state's approach to document preservation and record-keeping by giving the Secretary of the Commonwealth more discretion in accepting different document formats beyond traditional microfilm.
