Who promulgates the rules and regulations under the Notary Act?

The Governor of Pennsylvania
PA Department of State
The Pennsylvania State Legislature
The Chief Justice of Pennsylvania

The correct answer is: PA Department of State

The PA Department of State is responsible for promulgating the rules and regulations under the Notary Act. This department oversees the implementation and enforcement of notary laws within Pennsylvania, ensuring that notaries public comply with the legal requirements set forth in the Notary Act. By establishing these rules, the Department of State helps maintain the integrity of notarial acts and protects the public interest. The other options, while they may have roles in the governance structure of the state, do not directly oversee the creation of rules and regulations for notaries. The Governor and the Chief Justice do not specifically handle the minutiae of notarial laws, and the Pennsylvania State Legislature is involved in enacting laws rather than the regulations that are enforced at an executive level by the Department of State.
