Requires disclosure of sales prices in real estate sales

HB 579 requires sellers to disclose the actual sales price in real estate deeds when transferring property. This directly affects real estate sellers and their attorneys who file deeds, as failing to include the price triggers a 5% civil penalty based on the sale amount. The Attorney General or county prosecutors can enforce this by suing for penalties, but the rule does not apply to transactions involving only mineral rights in land. The bill aims to increase transparency in property sales by making price information publicly available in official records.
