CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT

Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
1. Section 2 of P.L.1979, c.460 (C.52:7-11) is amended to read as follows:
2. a. The [Secretary of] State Treasurer shall appoint so many notaries public as the [Secretary of] State Treasurer shall deem necessary to commission, who shall hold their respective offices for the term of five years, but may be removed from office at the pleasure of the [Secretary of] State Treasurer.
b. A person desiring to be appointed and commissioned a notary public shall make application to the [Secretary of] State Treasurer on a form prescribed by the [Secretary of] State Treasurer and endorsed by a member of the Legislature or the [Secretary of] State Treasurer or Assistant [Secretary of] State Treasurer. Renewals thereof shall be made in the same manner as the original application.
c. The fee to be collected by the [Secretary of] State Treasurer for that appointment or renewal shall be $25.00, except that any person meeting the definition of veteran pursuant to N.J.S.11A:5-1 shall not be required to pay this fee.
(cf: P.L.1987, c.435, s.21)

STATEMENT
This bill exempts a veteran, as determined by the Adjutant General of the State's Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs, from the $25 fee required to be paid by an individual to the State Treasurer for appointment or renewal as a notary public.
References in the bill are made to the State Treasurer, because as a result of Reorganization Plan 004-1998, jurisdiction concerning notaries public in terms of providing for their appointment and qualifications was transferred to the State Treasurer from the Secretary of State.
