Dear Members and Supporters,
After months of advocacy, countless conversations, and an extraordinary grassroots effort, we have reached the final stage of our campaign.
AB 1597 is now awaiting Governor Newsom's signature.
This legislation has received overwhelming bipartisan support throughout the legislative process and is now just one step away from becoming law. But before that can happen, we need your help one more time.
Today, we are asking every supporter to call Governor Newsom's Office and respectfully urge him to sign AB 1597.

Suggested Call Script
"Hello, my name is [First and Last Name] and I am a constituent from [Your City], California. I am calling to urge Governor Newsom to sign AB 1597, Castillo. This bill is important because it will help expand notarial services to Californians and support small businesses. Thank you for your time and for passing my message along."
Your call will take less than a minute, but it can make a meaningful difference.
A Personal Thank You
Over the past several months, I have had the privilege of representing California's notary community throughout every stage of the legislative process. From the bill's introduction to committee hearings, floor votes, and meetings with lawmakers and stakeholders, I have witnessed firsthand the impact of your advocacy.
Because of your support, we built one of the largest grassroots campaigns our profession has ever seen. Together, we submitted 1,950 letters of support to the Legislature and demonstrated that California's notary community is engaged, organized, and committed to protecting access to essential notarial services.
For that, I offer my sincere thanks.
Help Us Finish Strong
After you make your call, please help us amplify this final effort.
- Forward this email to fellow notaries and colleagues.
- Ask your friends and family members to call.
- Encourage your clients and fellow small business owners to participate.
- Share this action alert on your social media channels.
Every call helps reinforce the broad public support behind AB 1597.
We are closer than ever to achieving a long-overdue modernization of California's notary fees that will support small businesses, strengthen access to notarial services, and promote economic sustainability and fairness for California notaries.
One final call can make all the difference.
Let's finish strong. Together, we can make history for California's notaries.
In solidarity,
Matt Miller, President
