HB 1643 -- COUNTY RECORDERS OF DEEDS

This bill changes the laws regarding certain documents recorded
with the county recorder of deeds.  In its main provisions, the
bill:

(1)  Requires a request for records filed or recorded by the
county recorder of deeds under Chapter 59, RSMo, which are dated
after December 31, 1969, to be made to the office in which the
record was originally recorded;

(2)  Authorizes the recorder of deeds and the local registrar in
Jackson County to collect a $1 donation over and above any
required fees charged for recording or providing a certified copy
of a marriage license or birth certificate.  Moneys collected
will be deposited into the housing resource commission fund to
assist homeless families and provide financial assistance to
organizations addressing homelessness in the county.  The
recorder and registrar must provide a check-off box for the
donation on any required form; and

(3)  Changes the method by which notice of a mechanic's lien on
real property of an absent or nonresident owner may be given and
requires an applicable fee for recording to accompany the notice.
