A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO COPIES IN THE BUREAU OF CONVEYANCES..
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 502-21, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§502-21 Recording of plans unlawful. It shall not be lawful for the registrar to accept for record any plan of land, whether attached to, made a part of, or independent of, any deed, certified copy of judgment of condemnation, or other instrument; to the end and purpose that there shall be no plans recorded in the record books, but in substitution therefor there shall be a single method of filing plans in the archives of the bureau of conveyances; provided that where sketches, blueprints, or plans of land of a size not larger than 8 1/2 inches by 14 inches which legibly reproduces under photographic, electronic, or electrostatic methods are attached to instruments and made a part thereof by reference to the same in the instrument, the registrar may record the same in the record books by means of the photographic recorder, on payment of the fee as provided in section 502-25."
SECTION 2. Section 502-22, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§502-22 Copies of plans furnished by registrar. The registrar shall furnish, when so requested, copies of any map or plan filed in accordance with sections 502-17 to 502-21, duly certified by the registrar's seal of office, upon payment of the fee hereinafter mentioned. In addition, the registrar may authorize the department of accounting and general services to furnish, when so requested, copies of such maps or plans, subject to the payment of fees applicable to maps or plans furnished by the registrar. These copies of maps or plans may be furnished in photographic, electronic, or electrostatic form."
SECTION 3. Section 502-26, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§502-26
Copies of instruments, certificates.
The registrar, when applied to, shall furnish an attested copy of any
instrument or document recorded in the registrar's office, or of any fact
appearing upon the registrar's records. The registrar may also issue
nonattested documents or portions of any instrument or document recorded
in the registrar's office[.] in photographic, electronic, or
electrostatic form. The registrar may issue certificates of search or
incumbrance when personnel is available for the making of the certificate."
SECTION 4. Section 502-92, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§502-92 Copies of old records. The registrar shall prepare photographic, electronic, or electrostatic copies of the records and record books in the bureau of conveyances which by reason of age, usage, or otherwise are in such condition that they can no longer be conveniently used or consulted without danger of destruction thereof, and certify to the correctness of such copies. The certified copies, and prints made from them and similarly certified, may be read in evidence with the same force and effect as the original instrument. The correctness of such copies is not conclusive but may be rebutted. All such records and record books from which the copies are made shall be deposited with the department of accounting and general services in its public archives. The registrar may convert into electronic form information or documents recorded before the registrar began to record electronic documents."
SECTION 5. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 6. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
