Bill > LB919

This bill allows for the use of "durable accessible mediums" as an alternative to traditional methods of recording and filing public records, such as microfilm. A durable accessible medium is defined as one that can be retrieved through intellectual, digital, or physical means within institutional or legal parameters. This change impacts how county registers of deeds handle instruments like property deeds and bankruptcy notices, as well as how state tax liens are managed. The bill amends existing laws to permit these new mediums, meaning original documents may no longer need to be retained if they are accurately recorded and preserved on an accessible durable medium, provided a secure off-site copy is maintained. The bill also repeals the original sections of law that are being amended.
