AI Explanation

County-clerk transmission is a specific appointment step. Executive Law §131(5) requires the Secretary of State to transmit the commission and the oath/signature records, plus the apportioned amount of the fee, by the tenth day of the following month. Not to be confused with a later request for a certificate of official character under §132.
