AN ACT relating to reporting requirements.

HB 851 amends Kentucky law to change the reporting deadline for fiscal courts and county clerks from July 1 to August 1, giving these local government offices an additional month to submit required reports. The bill also updates fee schedules for various county clerk services, including recording deeds, mortgages, and election petitions, while maintaining the same fee amounts as previously established. These changes directly affect county clerks, fiscal courts, and the public who interact with county record-keeping and administrative processes. The legislation does not alter the types of documents that must be recorded or the amounts of fees charged, only the timing for certain reporting obligations.
