Bill > H2780

This bill clarifies how certain fees collected by registries of deeds are handled, specifying that fees collected under the fee structure in place before March 15, 2003, will continue to be deposited into the General Fund for state-operated registries and with county treasurers for county-operated registries. It further mandates that any fees collected above that prior structure, starting from July 1, 2013, will also go into the Commonwealth's General Fund, with the exception of fees collected by county-operated registries, which will still be deposited with their respective county treasurers. The bill aims to ensure consistent handling of these fees, distinguishing between state and county operations.
