Indiana SB0229 regulates notary public conduct and time share purchase cancellations.

Indiana SB0229 amends the Indiana Code to establish stricter guidelines for notary publics, prohibiting them from performing notarial acts for transactions where they have a direct financial interest or are an officer, director, manager, or agent of a party involved. It also mandates that notary publics cannot provide legal advice or practice law, and must clearly state in advertisements that they are not attorneys. The bill extends the cancellation period for time share and camping club membership purchases from 72 hours to 14 days, requiring sellers to provide detailed fee information.
