Summary

The bill requires that any deed presented for recording that transfers a residential property include the name of the title insurance company and the policy number, but only when the buyer or another party has purchased title insurance. This applies to purchasers, sellers, title insurers, and the offices that record deeds. The goal is to make insurance information part of the public record, improving transparency and reducing potential disputes.
