The bill, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 262, proposes to amend Section 3-95 of the general statutes regarding the fees that notaries public can charge for their services. Specifically, it seeks to increase the maximum fee for a notarial act from five dollars to ten dollars. Additionally, the bill maintains the provision for an extra charge of thirty-five cents for each mile of travel incurred by the notary.

This change is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, and aims to better compensate notaries for their services, reflecting potential increases in costs associated with their work. The bill is currently under consideration by the Judiciary Committee.
