193+in any recorder of deeds' office. 14
194+ 3. No deed recorded on or after August 28, 2022, shall 15

198+A recorder of deeds may refuse to accept any deed submitted 19
199+for recording that references the specific portion of any 20
200+such restrictive covenant. The person who prepares or 21
201+submits a deed for recording has the responsibility of 22
202+ensuring that the specific portion of such a restrictive 23
203+covenant is not specifically referenced in the deed prior to 24
204+such deed being submitted for recording. A deed may include 25
205+ 7
206+a general provision that states that such deed is subject to 26
207+any and all covenants and restrictions of record; however, 27

209+restrictive covenant purporting to restrict the ownership or 29
210+use of the property as prohibited under subsection 1 of this 30
211+section. Any deed that is recorded after August 27, 2022, 31
212+that mistakenly cont ains such a restrictive covenant shall 32
213+nevertheless constitute a valid transfer of real property. 33
214+ 4. Any restrictive covenant prohibited under 34
215+subsection 1 of this section may be released by the owner of 35
216+real property subject to such covenant by r ecording a 36
217+certificate of release of prohibited covenants. The real 37
218+property owner may record a certificate either prior to 38
219+recording of a deed conveying real property to a purchaser 39
220+or when such real property owner discovers that such 40
221+prohibited covenant exists and chooses to affirmatively 41
222+release the same. A certificate may be prepared without 42
223+assistance of an attorney but shall conform substantially to 43
224+the following certificate of release of prohibited covenants 44
225+form: 45
226+46 Certificate of Release of Prohibited Covenants
