Every recorder shall keep the following books or computer databases:
Any recorder may install or contract for the use of a computerized system that will permit automated entry and indexing, alphabetically by document, of instruments filed in the office and that will provide both quick search and retrieval of such entries and hard copy print output, whether on paper, optical disk media, or microfilm, of such entries as indexed. If such a computerized system has been in use in the office for at least 6 months and the recorder determines that it provides accurate and reliable indices that may be stored as permanent records, more quickly and efficiently than the system previously used, the recorder may thereafter discontinue the use of the manual system and use only the computerized system for such indices. In that event, references in this Division to books, records or forms as relate to such indices are intended to encompass and refer to the computer system and all materials and forms directly related to that system and its proper use.
This Section is subject to the Local Records Act.
