Idoni Named Co-Chair of State Clerks’ Legislation Committee
Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni has been chosen to co-chair the Legislation Committee of the New York State Association of County Clerks (NYSACC). The Dutchess County Clerk, Brad Kendall, will serve as co-chair with Idoni of the committee that will monitor, assess and take positions on legislation impacting their fellow county clerks. The appointments were made by the President of NYSACC, Holly Tanner, the Columbia County Clerk, and confirmed by the members of the association at the annual legislative conference held in Albany this week.
“I am honored to be chosen by my colleagues throughout New York State to serve as co-chair of this key committee,” stated Idoni. Idoni was elevated to this position after his service as co-chair of NYSACC’s eRecording Committee for the past two years. The eRecording Committee was successful in developing, drafting and proposing legislation that will allow for electronic filing of land records. NYSACC determined at their legislative conference this week that seeking the passage of eRecording legislation would be their sole legislative agenda item in 2011.
“In 2009, our organization began a serious discussion regarding moving land records, such as deeds and mortgages, electronically into our offices” shared Idoni. “And with the hard work and strong advocacy of NYSACC, we are now poised to pass legislation which would open the door to the electronic recording of land records in New York State.” This initiative is projected to save taxpayers throughout the state millions of dollars a year. Idoni shared, “In counties across the state, my fellow clerks are using technology successfully to improve efficiency, productivity and accuracy in handling large volumes of hard copy documents received on a daily basis. The time to provide the added benefits that will come from electronic recording of land records is now.”
County Clerk Idoni was also reappointed as co-chair of the organization’s eRecording Committee for the third year in a row.
