Homeowners are requesting the following amendment for AB 2718:

To avoid being charged unlimited copying costs that can be recorded as liens against our homes please:

1. Replace "reasonable" and "actual" charges with a requirement to use the pricing structure of Evidence Code 1563.

2. Delete the phrase "transfer fees and similar charges" from Civil Code Sec. 1366.2.
