Task Force to Study the Recording of Deeds for Victims of Domestic Violence
The meeting included discussions on address shielding for judges, a recap of a conference call with Minnesota regarding their Safe at Home program, and the implications of criminal versus civil penalties for non-compliance. The task force also explored the burden on the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP), Minnesota's deed recording law, and the recording process in Maryland. Legislative services provided insights on bill drafting, and working groups were formed to draft legislation and focus on the clerks and the recording process.
