The bill establishes the Uniform Unlawful Restrictions in Land Records Act, which allows property owners to remove unlawful restrictions from land records. It defines key terms such as "amendment," "document," "governing instrument," and "unlawful restriction," which includes prohibitions based on race, religion, or other personal characteristics that violate state or federal law. Property owners can submit an amendment to the recorder to remove these unlawful restrictions, and governing bodies of associations can also amend governing instruments to eliminate such restrictions without needing a vote from members.
The bill outlines the process for recording amendments, including the necessary information that must be included, such as the owner's name and property details. It specifies that the recorder is responsible for recording these amendments and is not liable for doing so. Additionally, the act promotes uniformity in law across jurisdictions and modifies certain provisions of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. Overall, the legislation aims to facilitate the removal of discriminatory restrictions from property records, thereby promoting fair property ownership practices.
