Securing and Enabling Commerce Using Remote and Electronic Notarization Act of 2022

Floor Speech

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in favor of H.R. 3962, the Securing and Enabling Commerce Using Remote and Electronic Notarization Act of 2022.

Historically, notarization has required a person to appear before a notary public. However, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, such in-person appointments were paused, causing States to permit remote online notarizations so as to ensure commerce would not come to a halt when so many other things were.

The passage of H.R. 3962, which establishes nationwide standards and technical requirements for remote online notarization, showcases the benefits that technology can have to reduce the barriers on commerce in America and provide an easier way of life for our constituents.

Mr. Speaker, I thank Representatives Dean and Armstrong for their work on this legislation.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 3962, and I reserve the balance of my time.
