Affects

Amends Section 240.085 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

  2. Permits the Secretary of State to suspend the commission of a Notary who is found guilty of using the terms “Notario” and “Notario Publico” in an advertisement – for one year, and on the third such offense, revoke the commission.

Analysis

Assembly Bill 227 amends the state’s Notary non-English advertising law with the prohibition against using the terms “Notario” and “Notario Publico.” This law already requires Notaries advertising in a foreign language to include in the ad this statement: “I am not an attorney in the state of Nevada. I am not licensed to give legal advice. I may not accept fees for giving legal advice.”
