Bill Summary

Modifies provisions relating to protections against document fraud

AI Summary

This bill modifies provisions related to document fraud protections by requiring recorders of deeds to display a warning sign about the felony offense of filing false documents, and it establishes procedures for law enforcement and property owners to petition for judicial review of potentially fraudulent filings, with the party initiating a filing deemed invalid by the court being responsible for associated costs. The bill also revises penalties for notaries and individuals impersonating them, increasing the severity of certain offenses from misdemeanors to Class E felonies, which are more serious crimes typically involving imprisonment.
