(b) An individual elected to the office of county recorder shall complete at least:
(1) fifteen (15) hours of training courses within one (1) year; and
(2) forty (40) hours of training courses within three (3) years;
after the individual is elected to the office of county recorder.
(c) An individual first elected to the office of county recorder shall complete five (5) hours of newly elected official training courses before the individual first takes the office of county recorder. A training course that the individual completes under this subsection shall be counted toward the requirements under subsection (b).
(d) An individual shall fulfill the training requirements established by subsection (b) for each term to which the individual is elected as county recorder.

(g) An individual elected to the office of county recorder shall certify completion of the requirements described in subsection (b) every year and file the certification with the state board of accounts in the same manner as the report required in IC 5-11-1-4(a).
