Bill > S06910

This bill amends the New York executive law to limit the recordkeeping and reporting duties of public notaries, specifically focusing on electronic notarizations. Under the proposed legislation, notaries will not be required to create or maintain any additional notarial records beyond what is already mandated for electronic notarizations, as outlined in section 135-c of the existing law. This means that notaries will have reduced administrative burdens and paperwork requirements when performing their official duties, with the exception of records specifically related to electronic notarizations. The bill aims to streamline the notarial process by eliminating unnecessary documentation requirements while still maintaining the essential record-keeping standards for electronic notarial acts. The changes will take effect immediately upon enactment, providing immediate relief to notaries in terms of their record management responsibilities.
