Abstracter board roster changes passed

Lawmakers passed a bill Feb. 27 that changes requirements related to the roster of abstracters maintained by the state’s Abstracters Board of Examiners.

LB269, introduced by Venango Sen. Dan Hughes, requires the board to update the roster annually on their website in a printable format. The bill also removes a requirement that a copy of the roster be sent to all registered abstracters and furnished to the public upon request at the cost of production.

The bill passed 47-0.
