Correct Answer
D. A removed NYC commissioner of deeds may later be appointed a notary public.
Detailed Explanation
A removed NYC commissioner of deeds is the incorrect statement here. Election Law §§3-200 and 3-400 make a commissioner of elections or inspector of elections eligible, the booklet’s "Member of legislature" note says such a member may be appointed a notary public, and the "Sheriffs" note cites Article XIII, §13(a) that sheriffs hold no other office. For contrast, Executive Law §140(14) says a person removed as a NYC commissioner of deeds is not thereafter eligible to be appointed to the office of notary public.
