(55 ILCS 5/3-5010) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-5010)
Sec. 3-5010. Duties of recorder. Every recorder shall, as
soon as practicable after the receipt of any instrument in

books to be provided for that purpose. In counties of 500,000

electronic method of storage only if authorized to do so by the
county board. When any such instrument is reproduced on film or
electronic method of storage, the film or electronic method of
storage shall comply with the minimum standards of quality
approved for permanent photographic records of the State
Records Commission and the device used to reproduce the records
on the film or electronic method of storage shall be one which

accurately reproduces the contents of the original.
