What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill changes the information that a county register of deeds must assign to a document that is submitted for filing or recording. Under current law, certain provisions of the statutes require a county register of deeds to assign to each document a unique document number and a volume and page where the document is located. The bill provides that a register of deeds may, but is not required to, assign a volume and page number to each document. The bill also provides that the register of deeds is only required to include volume and page number references in the index of documents if the document is assigned a volume and page number.
The bill also eliminates certain penalties that apply to registrations of farm names that are recorded in a county register of deeds office.

Under current law, the recording space must be at least two and five-tenths inches on each side.
