to appoint notaries public for four-year terms and the governor is also authorized
to remove notaries from office: and

the authority to appoint and remove notaries with cause in their respective counties

notaries and counties receive $1 when new notaries furnish a bond: and
WHEREAS, Oakland County receives about $5,460 per year from notaries
filing bonds and if the Oakland County Clerk appointed all new notaries, each
paying a $3 fee, the county's annual revenue would. be $21,600 from notaries,

of Commissioners takes a position supporting Senate Bill 579.
