Bill > SF5012

This bill makes changes to the electronic database of notaries in Minnesota. The key provisions are: 1. It amends the requirements for a notary public to register the capability to perform remote online notarizations with the Secretary of State, removing the previous requirement to register according to the separate section 359.01, subdivision 5. 2. It updates the electronic database of notaries maintained by the Secretary of State to indicate whether a notary public is authorized to perform notarial acts on electronic records, in addition to verifying their authority to perform notarial acts more broadly. 3. It clarifies that the term of registration to perform electronic notarial acts continues as long as the notary public's commission is valid, without the need for reregistration. 4. It specifies that a notarial stamp that met the requirements at the time of issuance can continue to be used for the remainder of the notary's current term, even if the requirements subsequently change.
