HB 166 Court records; recording by microphotographic or electronic process.
Introduced by: Jason S. Miyares | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Clerks of court. States that the clerk of an appellate court may request paper trial court records to be forwarded to such clerk. The bill adds the Bond Book to the list of books for which a microphotographic process may be used to accomplish the recording of writings otherwise required to be recorded in a book or retained in the clerk's office. In addition, the bill repeals an obsolete section of the Code that required circuit court clerks to keep a log of documents submitted for recordation that had not been recorded because they had not been acknowledged or proved.
