.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled,
And by the authority of the same, as follows:
Chapter 36 of the General Laws is hereby amended by striking out section 14 and inserting in place thereof the following section:
Section 14.
Each register shall keep a record, in book or electronic form, into which the register shall enter recording information for all instruments accepted for record, in the order in which they are
recorded
.
Upon recording
of an instrument, the following information shall be entered into the record: the day, hour and minute when the register assigns an instrument number, and/or book and page number as the case may be; the instrument number and/or book and page number so assigned; the names of the grantors and grantees in the instrument;
and the
city or town in which the land lies.
No instrument
received by the register
shall be considered
recorded
, until the register assigns to the instrument an instrument number, and/or book and page number as the case may be
.
Any change or correction
made
to
the
record
shall be accessible to the public through the computer system in that particular registry district. Such change or correction made to the record
shall be
maintained by the register and shall be available for
public inspection
at said registry district
during registry business hours
. Any change or correction to the record shall document
the nature and date of the
change or correction.
