An act relating to commissioning Department of Corrections personnel as notaries public

This bill authorizes Department of Corrections employees to serve as notaries public when performing official duties, removing the usual requirement to pay notary fees. The law defines official duties as notarizing documents related to their employment, court matters, victim services, or other state responsibilities. Corrections staff must believe the document is work-related or beneficial to their agency to qualify under this exemption. The change applies immediately upon passage and affects only state corrections personnel acting within their job scope.
