Amends the Illinois Notary Public Act. Modifies the required disavowal of legal representation notice. Provides that the failure of a notary public to follow specified notice requirements shall result in a fine of $1,500 (currently, $1,000) for each written violation. Provides that a second (rather than third) violation shall result in permanent revocation of the commission of notary public (currently, a second violation results in suspension of notary authorization). Provides that prior to rendering notary public services to a person seeking such services, a notary public shall, in addition to any written or electronic notice, also give a verbal disavowal of legal representation that is substantially the same as the statement required for written and electronic advertisements of notary services. Provides that upon providing the verbal disavowal of legal representation, the person seeking notary services shall be provided with an acknowledgment form reciting the disavowal of legal representation, and be required to sign such form acknowledging that he or she has been advised and understands that the notary public is not a licensed attorney and is not otherwise authorized to provide legal advice or services. Provides that the acknowledgment form shall be prescribed by the Secretary of State and be made available in English and in the non-English language in which notary services were solicited.
