Relating to access to and use of the county land record information system

This bill relates to access to and use of the county land record information system. Current law prohibits the governing board of the county land record information system (governing board) from entering into an agreement to provide access to electronic documents or records on a batch basis. The bill authorizes such an agreement for access to electronic groundwater hazard documents or records through an application programming interface to the department of natural resources and for access to aggregated anonymous data. The governing board may collect a fee for providing access through an authorized agreement. Under current law, each county shall participate in the county land record information system and shall comply with the policies and procedures established by the governing board. The bill requires the governing board to establish policies and procedures providing for, at a minimum, reasonable limitations on usage, requirements for the authentication of users, the prohibition of illegal or unauthorized uses, and the prohibition of foreign access from a location outside of the United States.
