AI Summary
This bill revises requirements for recording real property documents by removing the mandate that printed deeds or other instruments must include specific margins, such as a 3-inch margin at the top of the first page and 1-inch margins on the sides, which were previously required for official use. Additionally, it mandates that the clerk of the circuit court in each county must date any changes or corrections made to the general alphabetical index of land records directly on the same horizontal line where the alteration occurs, ensuring a clear and dated record of modifications to these important public documents.
