Relates to limiting recordkeeping and reporting duties of public notaries
This bill modifies state law to reduce the recordkeeping and reporting responsibilities of public notaries. It specifically exempts notaries from creating or keeping physical records for any notarial acts that are not electronic. Under this provision, notaries would only be required to maintain records for electronic notarizations, while other traditional notarial acts would no longer mandate the creation of formal logs. The change aims to simplify administrative duties for notaries by limiting their paperwork requirements to digital transactions only.
