Correct Answer
D. A provision requiring the notary to remit all fees collected during ordinary business hours to the employer
AI Explanation
Private employer agreement — fee remission and service limitations. Government Code section 8202.7 allows a private employer who has paid for the notary's bond and supplies to include in the agreement a provision for the remission of fees collected by the notary to the employer during the scope of employment. Section 8202.8 further allows the employer to limit notarial services to transactions related to the employer's business. The employer cannot claim ownership of the commission, seal, or journal — those remain the exclusive property of the notary.
