The bill proposes to amend South Dakota law regarding the fees that notaries public can charge for their services. Specifically, it seeks to remove the maximum fee currently permitted for notarizing documents, allowing notaries to set their own fees.

Additionally, the bill maintains the provision that notaries cannot charge a fee for notarizing requests for absentee ballots. This change aims to provide notaries with greater flexibility in their pricing while ensuring that certain essential services remain free of charge.
