Be
it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court
assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 36 of chapter 215 of the General Laws, as appearing
in the 2006 Official Edition is hereby amended by striking Section 36 and
inserting in place thereof the following section:— Judgments, decrees and
orders of the probate and family courts shall be in writing, and in
contested cases or in cases wherein the court has reserved judgment, notices
thereof shall be given by the registers to the attorneys of record, and in the
absence of an attorney of record, to any party who has appeared personally and
given his address. The registers shall record such judgments, decrees, orders
and other proceedings in said courts and such instruments, as shall be
determined by rules made from time to time under section thirty, by entering
the same into the statewide electronic database as approved by the
Administrative Office of the Trial Court. They may also direct the recording of
any judgments, decrees, orders, instruments and other proceedings in their
offices, irrespective of the time when such judgments, decrees, orders,
instruments or other proceedings were made, received or held.
