🏛️ Victory for CA Notaries, we did it!

Governor Gavin Newsom has officially signed AB 1597, the California Notary Fee Modernization Act, into law.

Today marks a historic victory for California’s notary community and the biggest legislative achievement in CLIN’s history.

Because thousands of supporters came together…

:open_mailbox_with_raised_flag: 1,950 letters of support were submitted.
:handshake: Lawmakers from both parties supported the bill.
:writing_hand: AB 1597 is now law.

This victory belongs to every person who believed that California notaries deserved a strong voice in Sacramento.

Thank you to Assemblymember Leticia Castillo, Governor Gavin Newsom, our coalition partners, and every supporter who helped make history.

The work continues, but today we celebrate.
