Bill > S1212

This bill authorizes notaries public to perform electronic notarizations and remote notarizations that affect interstate commerce, establishes minimum standards for such notarizations, and requires federal courts and states to recognize notarizations performed by notarial officers in other states, as long as the notarization is valid under the law of the notarial officer's state or under this act. The bill also preserves state authority to set standards of care for notaries public and impose sanctions for misconduct. Overall, the bill aims to enable and secure the use of electronic and remote notarization for interstate commerce.
