Relates to limiting recordkeeping and reporting duties of public notaries
This bill would have changed the recordkeeping rules for public notaries in New York State. It proposed that notaries only need to keep records for electronic notarizations and could stop maintaining paper records for traditional in-person signings. The legislation aimed to reduce administrative burdens by limiting what documents notaries must retain. Although the bill passed the Senate, it was ultimately vetoed by the Governor and did not become law.
