Much of the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, 57 Pa.C.S. Ch. 3 (which was enacted in Pennsylvania as Act No. 73 of 2013), was to become effective only after the Department of State gave notice that is has approved notary education courses.

The Department has now given notice of those courses, and has announced that the act will be completely effective on 10/26/2017 (180 days after publication of the notice).
