Bill > A08422

This bill updates the fees collected by county clerks and clerks for the city of New York for recording and entering instruments. Specifically, it increases the additional fee deposited into the cultural education account from $15 to $30, while also increasing the amount that county clerks can retain from $0.75 to $1.00 before making the deposit. The bill amends sections of the civil practice law and rules and the administrative code of New York City to reflect these changes. The cultural education account is a fund that supports cultural and educational initiatives, and this fee increase will provide additional resources to this account. The bill applies to both county clerks across New York state and the register in New York City, ensuring a consistent approach to fee collection and allocation. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill becomes law, giving government offices time to implement the new fee structure.
