HB 6161 Summary

• Modifies foreclosure deed execution requirements by replacing "officer or" with "person" and changing "forthwith" to "promptly" for deed delivery to purchasers.

• Requires separate deeds for property located in multiple counties, with each deed specifying the precise sale amount for that parcel.

• Restructures Section 3232 into subsections (1)-(6) clarifying deed recording procedures with the register of deeds, including endorsement of receipt time and regular indexing within 20 days of sale.

• Adds new subsection (5) stating that if a deed is not recorded within 20 days after sale, the sale remains valid but the redemption period begins on the date the deed is actually recorded.

• Adds new subsection (17) to Section 3240 establishing that if a purchaser's deed is recorded more than 20 days after the sale date, the redemption period under subsections (7)-(12) begins on the deed recording date rather than the sale date.
