We have certainly learned in the last few years that every time a law shoots through Congress at Ex-Lax speed, it's generally not good news for Americans.
So the question is why, after over a century of satisfactory performance by the Notaries Public concept all across the USA, is there suddenly an emergency need to pass this particular bill???

Apparently, the clerks of the court in the mid 2000s noticed a rise in frivolous complaints in state courts about signatures not being notarized within the state. They felt that a law making a notary in one state good for all states would be useful. From what I’ve read, most of the time in our history a notarized signature from another state has been accepted in courts, and this new law would just make it required so you wouldn’t have your court case tripped up when it gets moved from one state to another for example.
