Notaries; authorize commissions for persons residing within 15 miles of the border of Mississippi.

Summary

The bill changes Mississippi’s notary law so that people who live in a neighboring state but reside within 15 miles of the Mississippi border can apply for a notary public commission. Applicants must meet the same age, citizenship, English‑language, and character standards as Mississippi residents and must post a $5,000 surety bond. If enacted, the change would broaden who can become a Mississippi notary while keeping existing safeguards.
