The purpose of this bill is to adopt the Uniform Real Property Electronic Recording Act. The bill defines terms and creates Real Property Electronic Recording Standards Advisory Committee consisting of sixteen members. The bill authorizes any requirement of state law describing or requiring that a land record document be an original, on paper, or in writing is satisfied by a document in electronic form. The bill authorizes any requirement that a document contain a signature or acknowledgment is satisfied by an electronic signature or acknowledgment. The bill authorizes the clerk to accept electronic documents for recording and to index and store those documents. The bill does not provide a means of funding the establishment or operation of an electronic recording system. The bill requires the Real Property Electronic Recording Standards Council to develop a legislative rule containing standards for electronic recording to be used by each county. The bill requires that standards are to be developed with a vision toward fostering intra-and interstate harmony and uniformity in the electronic recording process. The bill requires the council to engage in a stakeholder type rule-making process to assure that all of the affected parties have the opportunity to participate in the process. The bill also modifies, limits and supersedes the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. This article is new; therefore, it has been completely underscored. This bill was recommended for introduction and passage during the Regular Session of the Legislature by the Commission on Interstate Cooperation.
