  • (a)   Any person in the employ of a holder of a certificate of authority or permit, or a holder of a certificate of authority who is an individual actively engaged in the process of preparing abstracts, or the holder of a permit who is an individual actively engaged in the construction of an abstract plant, shall be required to have an individual abstract license.
    (b)   Any person who is employed by a holder of a permit or certificate of authority whose sole function is limited to reviewing documents to determine the type of instrument, date, parties, recording information and legal description, and entering such information into a manual or computer indexing system shall not be required to hold an abstract license. Such activity shall be conducted under the supervision of a licensed abstractor. Prior to the final entry of such documents to the abstract plant, a licensed abstractor must review, verify and accept such entries as final on behalf of the holder of the permit or certificate of authority. Any matter entered into the indexing system by an unlicensed person without proper licensed supervision may be deemed a violation of this Act.
