Bill > A07683

This bill amends the New York executive law by limiting the recordkeeping and reporting duties of public notaries, specifically focusing on electronic notarization. Under the proposed legislation, notaries will not be required to create or retain any notarial records beyond those already mandated by section 135-c of the executive law, which pertains to electronic notarization. This means that notaries will have reduced administrative responsibilities, potentially simplifying their professional duties and reducing paperwork. The bill appears designed to streamline notarial processes by eliminating unnecessary documentation requirements while maintaining existing regulations for electronic notarization. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment, providing an immediate change to the current notary recordkeeping requirements in New York State.
