This bill proposes updates to section 11-475 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning the fees charged by county recorders. Under current law, the fee for preparing and certifying copies of a record is $1 per page, with an additional $3 for attaching the recorder's certificate and seal. The bill modifies this by removing the phrase "In addition" and inserting "and an additional" to clarify the fee structure.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that state the county recorder shall not receive a fee for recording amendments to governing instruments that eliminate unlawful restrictions. It defines key terms such as "amendment," "governing instrument," and "unlawful restriction," which pertain to documents that remove discriminatory clauses affecting real property transactions. This change aims to facilitate the removal of such restrictions without imposing a financial burden on individuals seeking to amend their property documents.
