An Act

SEC. 2. RECOGNITION OF NOTARIZATIONS IN FEDERAL COURTS.
Each Federal court shall recognize any lawful notarization made by a notary public licensed or commissioned under the laws of a State other than the State where the Federal court is located if–
(1) such notarization occurs in or affects interstate commerce; and
(2)(A) a seal of office, as symbol of the notary public’s authority, is used in the notarization; or
(B) in the case of an electronic record, the seal information is securely attached to, or logically associated with, the electronic record so as to render the record tamper-resistant.
SEC. 3. RECOGNITION OF NOTARIZATIONS IN STATE COURTS.
Each court that operates under the jurisdiction of a State shall recognize any lawful notarization made by a notary public licensed or commissioned under the laws of a State other than the State where the court is located if–

(2)(A) a seal of office, as symbol of the notary public’s authority, is used in the notarization; or
(B) in the case of an electronic record, the seal information is securely attached to, or logically associated with, the electronic record so as to render the record tamper-resistant.

In this Act:
(1) ELECTRONIC RECORD- The term ‘electronic record’ has the meaning given that term in section 106 of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. 7006).
(2) LOGICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH- Seal information is ‘logically associated with’ an electronic record if the seal information is securely bound to the electronic record in such a manner as to make it impracticable to falsify or alter, without detection, either the record or the seal information.
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate.
We have been tricked! Sen. Harry Reid didn’t actually adjourn the U.S. Senate. Check the Senate Calendar!
The purported “Pocket Veto” of the Digital Robo-Signing Act was a deceitful act to pretend to veto this bill while actually allowing it to become law.
Under Article I, Section 7, of the Constitution, a Pocket Veto is effective when Congress is adjourned.
THE JOKE IS ON US!
DEMAND THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA ACTUALLY VETO THIS BILL AND/OR THAT SEN. HARRY REID IMMEDIATELY ADJOURN THE U.S. SENATE. OTHERWISE, THE DIGITAL ROBO-SIGNING ACT BECOMES LAW TOMORROW!
