Linda held a California notary public commission that expired two years ago without renewal. She now wants to obtain a new commission. Which education requirement applies to her?

AI Explanation

Education requirement when commission has expired. Under Government Code section 8201(b), the three-hour refresher course is only available to a notary who holds a current, unexpired commission. Because Linda's commission expired without renewal, she is treated as a new applicant and must complete the full six-hour course of study before receiving a new commission.
