This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 41-334, which would clarify the rights of individuals and businesses regarding notarial services. Under the new law, individuals would have the freedom to choose any notarial officer in the state for authorized notarial acts, rather than being restricted to those employed by a specific business.

Additionally, the bill would explicitly prohibit businesses from mandating that individuals use their in-house notarial officers for notarial acts. This change aims to enhance consumer choice and accessibility to notarial services, ensuring that individuals are not limited to the options provided by a single business entity.
