SECTION 1. That in counties of this State having a population of not less than 20,400, nor more than 20,500, by the Federal Census of 1940, or any subsequent Federal Census, no conveyance vesting and divesting title to real estate shall be registered in the office of the County Register until such conveyance shall first have been submitted to the County Trustee and subsequent thereto to the County Tax Assessor for their information. Upon the conveyance being submitted to the County Trustee, that official shall enter upon the permanent records of his office a description sufficient to enable the land to be identified, the consideration paid therefor and shall note such change of ownership likewise upon the permanent records of his office and shall indorse upon said conveyance the fact of such notation.

The County Tax Assessor, when such conveyance be submitted to him, shall follow the same procedure as is required herein for the County Trustee and shall likewise indorse on such conveyance that the same has been submitted to him. Any Trustee or County Tax Assessor wilfully or negligently failing to comply with this Act shall be subject to ouster in the manner provided by law. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the submission of mortgages or deeds of trust to either the Trustee or County Tax Assessor. After such conveyance has been submitted to the County Trustee and Tax Assessor as hereinabove noted, it shall then be presented to the County Court Clerk for probate according to law and the Register of the Counties to which this law applies is hereby forbidden to record any conveyance failing to bear the notation of the County Trustee and Tax Assessor that the same has been submitted to them.

SECTION 2. That this Act shall take effect from and after its passage, the public welfare requiring it.
