House File 155 raises the fee Notaries may charge for most notarial acts from $1 to $5.

Affects

Amends Section 357.17 of the Minnesota Statutes

Changes
  1. Raises the fee Notaries may charge for most notarial acts named in the statute from $1 to $5.

Analysis

House File 155 raises the statutory maximum fees Notaries may charge for their services, in most cases from $1 to $5. The last time the fee statute was amended was 1986; therefore, an adjustment to the fee schedule was overdue and the increase is welcome. The new law takes effect on August 1, 2014.
