AB 679, as introduced, Travis Allen. Documents: recordation.
Existing law requires the recorder of each county, upon payment of proper fees and taxes, to accept for recordation any instrument, paper, or notice that is authorized or required by law to be recorded. Existing law requires those documents to comply with specified standards respecting margins, quality of paper, print size and color, and other related matters.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision requiring the documents to comply with specified standards.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
