SECTION 1. It is the duty of the Assessor of Property of Monroe County to be present in person, or to have a deputy present, at his office in the Courthouse during office hours. It is the further duty of the Assessor to stamp or cause to be stamped all deeds presented at his office, with a stamp showing that he has copied the names of the vendor and vendee in the deed of conveyance for the purpose of making proper correction on his roll of assessments. It is the duty of the Assessor to correct his tax rolls in all such cases so that the tax rolls of the County will be kept up to date and will show the correct owners of real estate to the end that property may be assessed in the name of the true owners thereof.

SECTION 2.

This Act shall have no effect unless it is approved by a two-thirds (⅔) vote of the Quarterly County Court of Monroe County at or before the next regular meeting of the Court occurring more than thirty (30) days after its approval by the Governor. Its approval or non-approval shall be proclaimed by the presiding officer of the Court and certified by him to the Secretary of State.
