Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Notary Public Act. Provides that every applicant for appointment and commission as a notary shall complete an application in a format prescribed by the Secretary of State stating, among other things, that the applicant has not been convicted of a felony within the 10 years immediately preceding the date of application (now, the applicant must state that the applicant has not been convicted of a felony).
AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Notary Public Act to change the requirements for individuals applying to become a notary public. Previously, applicants had to state they had not been convicted of a felony within the 10 years immediately preceding their application. This bill removes that 10-year restriction, meaning applicants will now only need to state that they have not been convicted of a felony, regardless of when the conviction occurred. This change applies to the application process for both standard notary public commissions and electronic notary public commissions.
