AnalysisAssembly Bill 474 makes simple, non-substantive changes to the section of the California Notary statute requiring an applicant for a Notary commission to complete an application and submit a photograph of their person. The changes are stylistic only (changing “his or her” to “applicant’s, thereby making the language gender-neutral). There also is a pointer reference change from Government Code 6252, which provided the definition of “local agency”, to Government Code Section 7920.510.
