HD 1832 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act modernizing microphotographic recording of documents

HD 1832 amends a statute by removing the phrase "microphotographic process" and requiring that documents be recorded in a format approved by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. This change updates the legal requirement for document recording, allowing government offices like land registries to use modern digital formats instead of outdated microphotographic methods. The bill directly affects entities responsible for official document recording by making the process adaptable to current technology. It does not specify particular formats but delegates approval authority to the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
