SENATE BILL 2322 — Senate Bill 2322 prohibits a Notary from notarizing any signature without positively identifying the signer. SB 2322 authorizes the Secretary of State to deny, revoke or suspend the commission of a Notary for violating any provision of Chapter 44-06 (“Notaries Public”) of the North Dakota Century Code and to adopt rules governing the signing and submission of electronic documents with a state agency. It also prohibits a Notary from notarizing a petition filed as a prerequisite to the calling of an election or for the performance or prohibition of any act under Section 1-01-50 of the North Dakota Century Code if the petition contains the Notary’s or the Notary’s spouse’s signature.

Oregon
HOUSE BILL 2085 — House Bill 2085 initiates important new changes in how Oregon Notaries identify document signers. The new law names four types of identification document that constitute satisfactory evidence of identity; clarifies that when one of these four IDs is not presented a Notary may accept a current ID issued by the U.S. federal government or a state, county, municipal or other local government and containing a photograph, signature and physical description; and repeals provisions allowing Notaries to accept two forms of identification and a signature card if the document signer is a customer of a financial institution. HB 2085 also permits Notaries to enter into an agreement to remit fees to a private employer and public bodies to collect fees charged by employees for notarial services.
