                                  AN ACT

     Requiring recorders of deeds to accept and record deeds prior to
        registry, where registry is required, and to have the same
        registered, and fixing fees therefor.

        Compiler's Note:  Section 9 of Act 110 of 2008, known as the
            Uniform Municipal Deed Registration Act, provided that
            Act 169 is repealed insofar as it is inconsistent with
            Act 110.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  It shall be the duty of the recorder of deeds in
     the several counties in this Commonwealth to receive all deeds
     presented for record, when the same are duly acknowledged as
     required by law, and record the same. And if by virtue of any
     provision of law any such deed so presented for record is
     required to be registered in any office for the registration of
     deeds, other than said recorder's office, within the county in
     which it is so offered for record, the recorder of deeds shall
     nevertheless record such deed whether it has been so registered
     or not, and in such case it shall be the duty of the recorder
     within ten days after the deed is transcribed into the deed book
     to have such deed registered in such other registry office or
     offices before delivering the deed to the party entitled to
     receive the same. On all deeds which the recorder is required to
     have registered under the provisions of this act he shall be
     entitled to collect a fee of twenty-five cents (25¢) for the
     first description in such deed and an additional sum of ten
     cents (10¢) for each additional description, in addition to the
     recording fee.
        Section 2.  The act, approved the twenty-eighth day of March,
     one thousand nine hundred seven (Pamphlet Laws, thirty-three),
     entitled, "An act providing for the recording of deeds and
     registration of same", and the act, approved the sixteenth day
     of May, one thousand nine hundred twenty-one (Pamphlet Laws, six
     hundred forty-nine), entitled, "An act providing for the
     recording of deeds and registration of same", are hereby
     repealed absolutely.
        All other acts and parts of acts inconsistent herewith are
     hereby repealed.
        Section 3.  This act shall become effective immediately upon
     its final enactment.
