ACTS OF ASSEMBLY
In my last Annual Report, I gave a full account of a legislative bill which
were it enacted into law would establish certain minimum standards for the
physical form of instruments presented for recording in the offices of the clerks
of court. After several attempts this bill was passed, but without our amend-
ments providing for the same standards for microfilm recording as those de-
manded where recording is by photostat. An amended bill was introduced for
us at the 1955 Session, but it failed of passage. In order that the members of
the Commission may have an opportunity to examine it conveniently, we are
reprinting it herewith.
