perform notarial acts electronically until June 30, 2022.

This has no
fiscal impact on the state or municipalities.
The bill also requires the Commerce Committee to convene a
working group to examine and make recommendations on whether to
adopt the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) and
whether remote notarization should be permitted with respect to real
estate and trusts and estates transactions.
Not later than January 1, 2022, the working group shall submit a
report on its findings and recommendations to the commerce,
government administration, and judiciary committees. The working
group shall terminate on the date that it submits such report or on
January 1, 2022, whichever is later. This provision has no fiscal impact
as PA 17-236 prohibits transportation allowances for members of
working groups.

This provision codifies Executive Order 7Q (§ 3), which the governor issued on
March 30, 2020, and subsequently extended for the duration of the declared public
health and civil preparedness emergencies. 2021HB-06604-R000311-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
