Bill > H3139

This bill proposes to enhance transparency in property deed requests by requiring the secretary of state or county register of deeds to maintain a record of all requests to access property deeds and to notify property owners when someone requests their deed information. Specifically, the bill mandates that when a deed is requested, the relevant official must send a mail notification to the property address within 10 business days of the request. This new provision would be added to Chapter 62C of the General Laws, providing property owners with increased awareness and protection by ensuring they are promptly informed about who is seeking access to their property deed records. The goal appears to be giving property owners more control and insight into who is accessing their personal property documentation, potentially helping them detect unauthorized or suspicious information requests.
