What happens to a notary who does not deliver papers to a county clerk after their commission expires?

  1. Nothing

  2. They are fined

  3. They are guilty of a misdemeanor

  4. They are thanked

The correct answer is: They are guilty of a misdemeanor

If a notary fails to deliver papers to a county clerk after their commission expires, they are guilty of a misdemeanor. This is because it is the notary's responsibility to ensure the proper filing of documents and failure to do so can result in legal consequences. Option A, Nothing, is incorrect because there can be repercussions for not fulfilling one's duties as a notary. Option B, They are fined, is also incorrect because a fine may not always be imposed and a misdemeanor charge is a more severe consequence. Finally, Option D, They are thanked, is incorrect because failing to deliver important documents is not something that should be rewarded or praised.
