AnalysisHouse Bill 1133 does away with the $5,000 Notary surety bond. The NNA wrote a letter of opposition to the House committee assigned to the bill as well as to the Governor requesting his veto. The NNA believes surety bonds protect the public and keeps Notaries aware of their financial liability when performing notarial acts, but the bill author characterized his bill as a “targeted and common-sense change.”
