Current Bill Summary

HB 1643 - This act allows the Jackson County recorder of deeds to collect a donation of $1, in addition to the fees charged, when recording marriage licenses or birth certificates. The money collected shall be deposited into the Housing Resource Commission Fund to assist homeless families and provide financial assistance to organizations addressing homelessness in the county.

This act allows the Jackson County registrar to collect a donation of $1, in addition to the fees charged, when providing copies of marriage licenses or birth certificates. The money collected shall be deposited into the Housing Resource Commission Fund to assist homeless families and provide financial assistance to organizations addressing homelessness in the county.

This act requires requests for records filed or recorded by the recorder of deeds dated after December 31, 1969 be made to the office of the recorder of deeds in which the record was originally recorded.

Currently, architects, engineers, landscape architects, land surveyors, and corporations registered to do the work of these professions who perform work on buildings or land can have a lien on the building or land. Currently, the fee to record the notice of such a lien is 25 cents, and the fee for copies of such notice is 50 cents. This section states that such notice shall be accompanied by an applicable recording fee.

Certain provisions of this act are similar to a provision of SB 362 (2009), HB 1959 (2010), HCS/SCS/SB 700 (2010), SS/SCS/HCS/HB 1290 (2010) and SS/SCS/SB 580 (2010).
