Bill > HB2261

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 66-24-101, which governs which documents can be officially recorded, or "registered," in Tennessee. The key change is that agreements related to the conveyance of real property, along with any related notices, affidavits, memoranda, or abstracts, can now be registered if they are authenticated, meaning their signatures are verified according to a specific legal process outlined in § 66-22-101, and they clearly state an expiration date including the day, month, and year. This aims to clarify and expand the types of agreements that can be officially recorded, ensuring that such documents are properly signed and have a defined end date. Additionally, any affidavits presented for registration must be sworn to before a notary public and include specific language confirming this oath.
