Correct Answer
B. A member of the legislature may be appointed a notary public in view of the transfer of appointing power to the Secretary of State.
AI Explanation
This is a New York constitutional-note nuance. The booklet's note on members of the legislature cites N.Y. Const. art. III, §7 and then states that a member of the legislature may be appointed a notary public in view of the transfer of appointing power from the governor and senate to the Secretary of State. For contrast, sheriffs are separately described as holding no other office under art. XIII, §13(a).
