What it does

A person may choose to participate in the system by submitting a form to the recorder. The form shall indicate the property for which the person wishes to receive notice and the means by which the notice should be sent by the recorder. The notice shall be provided within one business day by electronic mail, text message, or other similar means.

The provisions of the bill must be implemented by January 1, 2025.
