Allowing counties to charge fees for records preservation
SB 436 by Lucio (R. Lewis)DIGEST:
GOVERNOR'S
REASON
FOR VETO:
RESPONSE:
NOTES: nSB 436 would have allowed counties to charge a "records archive fee" of up
to $10 for each document filed with the county clerk. The fee could only
have been used to fund management and preservation projects for documents
filed before January 1,1990.
"Senate Bill 436 creates new, excessive fees for filing of any public document
such as marriage licenses and land titles. This legislation allows county
clerks to add a $10 records archive fee, over and above the current fees, to the
cost of recording a document. Counties that want to improve their records
management can make that a priority in their local budgets."
Sen. Eddie Lucio, the author of SB 436, was unavailable for. comment; Rep
Ron Lewis, the House sponsor, had no comment.
