The bill H. 3190 proposes an amendment to Section 26-1-100 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the fees that notaries may charge for their services. The amendment seeks to increase the maximum fees for various notarial acts to ten dollars. Specifically, the bill outlines that the fees for an acknowledgment, oath or affirmation without a signature, jurat, signature witnessing, and verification of fact will all be set at ten dollars per respective action.

The changes in the bill include the deletion of the previous fee amount of five dollars and the insertion of the new fee amount of ten dollars for each type of notarial act. This adjustment aims to standardize and increase the compensation for notaries in South Carolina, reflecting the value of their services. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
