BILL NUMBER:S4181 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to exempting certain public employees and court clerks of the unified court system from provisions of law requiring the payment of an application fee for appointment as a notary public PURPOSE: To exempt public employees and court clerks from provisions of law requiring the payment of an application fee of an appointment as a notary public. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends subdivisions 3 and 9 of section 131 of the executive law to provide that certain public employees shall not be required to pay the notary public application fee. JUSTIFICATION: New York State court clerks are frequently asked to notarize documents by the public during the course of their workday. As a courtesy many clerks do not charge a fee for their service. This legislation would allow a court clerk of the unified court system to be exempt from the application fee of $60 which must be paid every four years,. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2011-12 S.2753/A.3983; 2009-10 S.2462/A 4098; 2007-08 S.1668/A 3355; 2005-06 S.998-A/A.6288A, 2003-04 S.6217/A.10275 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.
