SECTION    1.    Section 1-11-65 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding an appropriately lettered subsection to read:

If the transaction is approved, the opinion must be recorded simultaneously with the deed. The county recording authority may not accept a deed for such real property that is not accompanied by the opinion."
