Introduced
by
To create a new Michigan Notary Public Act to provide for licensing and regulation of notaries public. Among other things, applications to be a notary would no longer require an endorsement by a state legislator or judge, a notary commission would last 2 years, the Secretary of State would be authorized to check applicants against the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) system, the Secretary of State could set the application fees (rather than the current statutory $3 fee), and notaries would be authorized but not required to charge up to $10 for a notary service, rather than $2.
Referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform
