act requiring recorders of deeds to accept and record deeds
prior to registry, where registry is required, and to have
the same registered, and fixing fees therefor," in addition
to the recording fee.
(b) Prohibition.--No municipality may require that the recorder of deeds effect the registration of a deed.
