AI Explanation

Penalty levels matter in New York notary questions. Penal Law §70.15(1) sets a class A misdemeanor at not more than 1 year, while Penal Law §70.00(2)(d)-(e) set class D felony at up to 7 years and class E felony at up to 4 years. Not to be confused with the felony terms, the misdemeanor ceiling is the 1-year figure.
