Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 331.605A, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code
  1  2 2003, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    The recorder shall also collect a fee of one dollar for
  1  4 each recorded transaction for which a fee is paid pursuant to
  1  5 section 331.604 to be used exclusively for the purpose of
  1  6 preserving and maintaining public records.  The treasurer, on
  1  7 behalf of the recorder, shall establish and maintain an
  1  8 interest-bearing account a county recorder's records
  1  9 management fund into which all moneys collected pursuant to
  1 10 this section shall be deposited.  Interest earned on moneys
  1 11 deposited in the fund shall be credited to the county
  1 12 recorder's records management fund.  The recorder shall use
  1 13 the moneys deposited in the account fund to produce and
  1 14 maintain public records that meet archival standards, and to
  1 15 enhance the technological storage, retrieval, and transmission
  1 16 capabilities related to archival quality records.  The
  1 17 recorder may cooperate with other entities, boards, and
  1 18 agencies to establish methods of records management, and
  1 19 participate in other joint ventures which further the purposes
  1 20 of this paragraph.
  1 21    Sec. 2.  Section 331.608, subsection 6, paragraph e, Code
  1 22 Supplement 2003, is amended to read as follows:
  1 23    e.  When otherwise required by a department or agency of
  1 24 the federal or state government or a political subdivision
  1 25 thereof.  The recorder shall make these records available to
  1 26 the commission of veterans affairs.  The commission and its
  1 27 employees shall be subject to the same state and federal
  1 28 confidentiality restrictions and requirements that are imposed
  1 29 on the recorder.
  1 30    Sec. 3.  Section 331.608, subsection 6, paragraph f, Code
  1 31 Supplement 2003, is amended by striking the paragraph.  
  1 32                           EXPLANATION
  1 33    Code section 331.605A allows the county recorder to collect
  1 34 a fee of $1 for each recorded transaction, in addition to any
  1 35 other fee, to be used for preserving and maintaining records.
  2  1 This bill specifies that these fees, and any interest earned
  2  2 on such fees, shall be deposited in a county recorder's
  2  3 records management fund.
  2  4    Code section 331.608, subsection 6, provides for the
  2  5 confidentiality of veterans' military personnel records in the
  2  6 custody of the county recorder.  Currently, one exception to
  2  7 this confidentiality is when access is required by the federal
  2  8 or state government or a political subdivision.  This
  2  9 provision is amended by adding a requirement that the records
  2 10 be released to the commission of veterans affairs, subject to
  2 11 the same state and federal confidentiality provisions that
  2 12 bind the county recorder.  The bill also strikes an exemption
  2 13 to that confidentiality that allows access to persons
  2 14 conducting research who have received written approval from
  2 15 the county commissioner of veteran affairs.
