Combs wins passage of county recorder bill
Press release from state Rep. Courtney Combs, R-Hamilton:
State Representative Courtney Combs (R- Hamilton) today announced the Ohio House voted to approve his House Bill 525, this legislation would establish a standardized format requirement for any future documents that need to be recorded by the county recorder.
“I feel these standards will allow the county recorders documents to better streamlined, easier to read, and allow the recorders the space to add their stamps and notarizations,” Combs said. “This bill makes a much cleaner document that the consumer can utilize and ensure that documents can be legally clear and binding in court.”
House Bill 525 would standardize print size, paper size, color, and margins for documents that need to be submitted for recordation. The bill would exclude any documents that are authorized to be recorded that orientate in any court or taxing authority and any federal or state agencies.
“This is something the Recorders Association has been working on for years and we will be happy when this becomes law,” said Butler County Recorder and President of the Ohio Recorders Association Danny Crank. “This bill will allow our offices to be more efficient, make documents easier to track, and provide a major time saving measure. This would not have been possible without the instrumental help from Representative Combs and his legislative aide, Pat Tully.”
House Bill 525 was approved by the Ohio House and now moves to the Ohio Senate where Representative Combs hopes for quick action and for the bill to be on Governor Strickland’s desk for signature by the end of the year.
