AI Summary
This bill makes technical changes to the laws regulating certain notarial acts in Massachusetts. It amends the definitions of "Acknowledgment," "Affirmation," "Jurat," "Oath," and "Signature witnessing" in the state's laws, removing references to the act being "voluntary" or "free." The bill also provides that documents recorded or filed before the effective date of the act will not be presumed invalid if they do not contain specific language or forms required by law, as long as they substantially comply with the legal requirements. These changes aim to clarify and streamline the notarial process in the state.
