AN ACT CONCERNING THE FEES CHARGED BY A NOTARY FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF A NOTARIAL ACT.

SB 262 increases the maximum fee a notary public may charge for performing a notarial act from $5 to $10, effective October 1, 2026. It also maintains the existing 35-cent-per-mile travel charge for notaries traveling to perform services. This bill directly affects notaries who provide services like document certification and their clients who pay these fees. The change is a straightforward adjustment to the statutory fee structure with no additional provisions or requirements.
