HB
2058
Notaries public. Rewrites the notary law to include electronic notarization and details the application and technology requirements for electronic notarization. These particular provisions become effective July 1, 2008. The bill creates a nonreverting technology fee account for the Secretary of the Commonwealth's use. A list of prohibited acts for notaries is included (e.g., use of official seal to promote or oppose products, candidates, etc.; use of signature or seal on incomplete documents; committing fraud under the guise of an official act) that subject the notary to suspension, removal, or reprimand as under current law. The bill also creates a Class 1 misdemeanor for obtaining, concealing, etc., electronic notarization software or hardware. The bill also increases the Secretary's fee for commissioning a notary from $25 to $35 and allows a fee of $35 for commissioning an electronic notary. The fee for notarizing a document remains at $5, and the fee for electronic notarization is not to exceed $25. This bill is identical to SB 826.
