Bill > HB2024

This bill amends a law to modify the restrictions on notary public activities related to absentee ballots. The key provisions include: 1) Requiring notaries to maintain a log of all absentee ballot affidavits they notarize, which must be submitted to the county election board for public record if the notary notarizes more than 20 affidavits in a single election; 2) Imposing penalties, including revocation of the notary's appointment and potential fines, for failing to submit the log or notarizing more than 20 affidavits without authorization; and 3) Maintaining the existing limit of 20 absentee ballot affidavits that a notary can notarize, with an exception for notarizations performed at the notary's place of business open to the public. The bill also requires notification to law enforcement if more than 10 absentee ballots are requested to be mailed to a single address, with some exceptions.
