Re: Amendments to IC 36-2-7.5 & 36-2-7 (effective immediately) & IC 36-2-11-15 (effective July 1, 2006)

During the 2006 session of the Indiana General Assembly, the above referenced statutes were amended by HB1114. Some of the amendments are effective upon the signing of the bill by the Governor and some on July 1, 2006. This law deals with the recordation of documents with Social Security Numbers and the release of copies of documents that contain Social Security Numbers. Recording fees will be increasing $2.00 effective immediately as stated in the statute.

Beginning March 29, 2006

You may not submit a document or UCC for recording or filing to the County Recorder that contains a SSN, unless the SSN is required by law to be on the document.

County Form 170 (Declaration) is no longer required to be attached to a document. $2.00 will be collected for the County Security Identity Protection Fund for every filing of a UCC or recording of a document.

Beginning July 1, 2006

Any document, that must by statue, have a prepared by statement must also have the affirmation statement listed in IC 36-2-11-15, typed exactly as quoted in the statute. Exceptions to this rule are instruments executed before 7-1-59, judgments, court orders, writs, wills, death certificates, federal tax liens, federal tax lien releases, and instruments prepared or acknowledged outside Indiana.

The affirmation statement reads as follows: "I affirm, under the penalties for perjury, that I have taken reasonable care to redact each Social Security Number in this document, unless required by law." (Print name)
