The Registers of Deeds Association is meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) in Worcester. Tomorrow night's blog entry will be a complete report of all substantive items discussed. The agenda items vary widely: a representative from the state's Department of Capital Asset Management (a/k/a "DCAM", the folks who are in charge of all state buildings) will be there to discuss the need for additional space at some registries. How to get access to the money that's been raised through the $5 per document technology surcharge that went into effect last March is also on the agenda as is a discussion of the governor's Executive Order regarding Notary Publics. The final agenda item is "Fee for Multi-Document Recordings Camouflaged as a Single Document." I guess we can tell how the creator of the agenda feels about that topic. Please check back tomorrow night for a full report.
