Relates to increasing the fees certain notaries public shall be entitled to
This bill proposes to increase the standard fees that notaries public can charge for their services from two dollars to five dollars. The change directly affects individuals who perform notarial acts, such as administering oaths or certifying signatures on legal documents. Under the new rules, a notary would charge five dollars for each person they certify, while fees for electronic notarial services would remain set by the secretary of state. The legislation also includes a provision for swearing in additional witnesses, raising that fee from two dollars to five dollars per witness.
