Copies of the communication were forwarded to the committees on Ways and Means and Post Audit and Oversight as required by law.
  • Status: Placed on file
  • Introduced: August 4, 2025
  • Classification: Proposed bill

Purpose and Legal Basis

  • The bill is a formal communication from the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds. It concerns the “County Registers Technology Fund” and, specifically, the fund’s fifty-fourth planned expenditure.
  • It is submitted under Section 2KKK of Chapter 29 of the General Laws, which governs communications from county registries to the state legislature and requires distribution to Ways and Means and Post Audit and Oversight for review.
  • The primary intent appears to be to inform the General Court of a planned expenditure from the County Registers Technology Fund and to satisfy statutory notification requirements.

What is Being Submitted

  • A report/communication detailing the fifty-fourth planned expenditure from the County Registers Technology Fund.
  • The provided summary does not include the actual dollar amounts, project descriptions, or timelines within the expenditure proposal. Those specifics would be contained in the submitted communication itself.

Affected Parties and Scope

  • Primary entity: Norfolk County Registry of Deeds (and by extension, the Norfolk County Registry system).
  • Fund involved: County Registers Technology Fund, which funds technology-related needs for county registries.
  • Legislative oversight: Massachusetts committees on Ways and Means and Post Audit and Oversight, which receive copies of such communications and may review for fiscal and oversight purposes.

Fiscal/Procedural Details

  • The submission is described as the “fifty-fourth planned expenditure,” implying an ongoing, regularly reviewed fund with multiple prior expenditures.
  • The communication was forwarded to the two fiscal/oversight committees as required by law.
  • Status implication: “Placed on file” means the bill is recorded but not enacted or appropriated; it does not in itself authorize spending. It serves as a formal notice and opens potential committee review, if pursued.

Timeline and Next Steps

  • Introduced: August 4, 2025.
  • Legislative action: On the same day, the bill was placed on file. There are no additional actions listed in the provided information.
  • If further action is desired, committees could review the expenditure details and issue recommendations or reports; absent further action, the communication remains on file.

Notes

  • The exact dollar amounts, project scopes, and implementation timelines are not included in the provided summary. Access to the full communication would be necessary to assess the specific impact and costs of the proposed fifty-fourth expenditure.
