What does the new law say about keeping a journal?
SB 111 repeals the prior requirement that a Notary keep a journal of every acknowledgment affecting the title to real property taken by the Notary and requires a Notary to keep a journal for every notarial act. However, the law still permits employers to keep the original or a copy of the notarized document in lieu of a journal entry if the document contains the information otherwise required to be entered in the journal and the document is retained by the employer in the ordinary course of business.
