The bill amends the existing law regarding the fees charged by county treasurers for providing transcripts and abstracts of records. It specifies that a county treasurer must provide a transcript of any paper or record upon request, with fees set at 25 cents for various types of abstracts and documents. Notably, the bill introduces a new provision that requests for electronic copies of records are not subject to the standard fee structure outlined in subsections (1), (2), (3), or (5). Instead, the maximum charge for electronic records is set at 30 cents per parcel record, with a cap of $2,000 for each request.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that if a request for an electronic copy includes both winter and summer tax bill amounts, it will be treated as a single request, maintaining the $2,000 maximum charge. It also emphasizes that records obtained under the electronic request provision cannot be resold for commercial purposes and that the county treasurer is not obligated to provide information not maintained or controlled by them. Overall, the amendments aim to streamline the process and clarify the fees associated with obtaining records from county treasurers.
