SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Virginia Supreme Court; uniform statewide formatting standards for cover sheets on deeds and other instruments. Requires the Supreme Court to adopt uniform statewide formatting standards for cover sheets on deeds and other real property instruments by December 1, 1999, in consultation with the Virginia Circuit Court Clerks’ Association. After the uniform standards are adopted, circuit court clerks may request, but not require, that cover sheets be submitted with deeds and other instruments for the purpose of properly indexing same. Effective December 1, 1999, the bill also repeals Chapter 378 of the 1998 Acts of Assembly, which allowed the circuit court clerk of Wise County and the City of Norton to request that a cover sheet be filled out on all real estate documents. The bill is a recommendation of the Joint Commission on Technology and Science.
