AnalysisIt’s always a great day when a state legislature raises the fees Notaries may charge. In this case, Wyoming brings its fees in line with many states that have raised its fees over the past few years. The statute makes it easy for Notaries to remember by assigning the same revised fee to every type of notarial act they may perform. An amendment to the bill in the House revised the effective date from immediately upon enactment to July 1, 2014.
