HCS/HB 1662 - This act prohibits deeds recorded on or after August 28, 2022, from specifically referencing restrictions relating to a person's race, color, religion, or national origin. The person preparing or submitting a deed for recording has the responsibility for ensuring compliance with this act, and Recorders of Deeds may refuse to accept deeds that are in violation of the act. Deeds in violation of this act shall nevertheless constitute a valid transfer of real property. Lastly, the act provides that the owner of real property may release the prohibited covenants by filing a certificate of release in a form specified under the act. ERIC VANDER WEERD
