HF 328: Relating to county recorder fees and land record information systems management

Became HF 1031 · Its progress continues under the new number.

What it does

This bill requires county recorders to upload data and images of recorded documents to the county land record information system and removes the requirement for county recorders to comply with the policies and procedures established by the governing board of the county land record information system.
