AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to set a maximum fee of $10 per signature for various notarial acts, such as acknowledgments, oaths, and copy certifications. It also establishes a maximum fee of $25 for witnessing the opening of a bank safe, vault, or box. The bill further prohibits notaries public from charging any fee to notarize signatures on absentee ballot envelopes or veterans' benefit applications. This aims to ensure affordable and accessible notary services for important civic and military-related documents.
