§ 5. On and after the effective date of this Act and before January 1, 1997, the registrar shall refuse to accept for registration any instrument that is a voluntary instrument. Instead of accepting a voluntary instrument for registration, the registrar shall, upon payment of the statutory recording fee, place of record with the recorder each current certificate of title or a registrar's certification of condition of title to all lands affected by that voluntary instrument. Before placing the certificate or certification of record, the registrar shall memorialize on the certificate or certification any instruments, documents, or papers that have been filed with the registrar and that have not yet been memorialized.
