FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3416 by Marchant (Relating to the appointment of notaries public.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
This bill amends the Government Code to remove the requirement that a notary public application be signed and sworn to or affirmed in the presence of a notary public or other person, authorized to administer oaths. Although there is no significant fiscal impact on the Office of the Secretary of State, there will be some savings associated with the bill due to the simplification and streamlining of the application process for a notary public.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
