Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 21, November 1, 2024.
Section 15 CSR 30-100.010 - Approval, Revocation, and Suspension of Notary CommissionPURPOSE: This amendment updates the chapter by removing the duplicative term "Secretary of State", adds "Approval" to the section and adds a new section.
(1) Before a notary's commission may be revoked, the notary shall receive written notice alleging why the notary's commission should be revoked and of the right to a hearing. The notary may request a hearing on the revocation as provided in 15 CSR 30-100.020. If the notary fails to request a hearing as provided in 15 CSR 30-100.020, the notary thereby waives his/her right to a hearing and the revocation shall proceed. If a notary's commission is ordered revoked after a hearing, the notary shall have the right to appeal the revocation order.(2) The secretary of state's office may immediately suspend a notary's commission upon written notice sent to the notary by certified mail when the secretary of state's office deems the situation has a serious unlawful effect on the general public. The notary may request a hearing on the suspension as provided in 15 CSR 30-100.015.(3) An individual who has been convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or moral turpitude, committed in the last five (5) years, will be denied approval to be a notary commission.
