What is the penalty for coercing a notary to perform improperly?

  1. Felony

  2. Misdemeanor

  3. Community service

  4. Fine

The correct answer is: Misdemeanor

Coercing a notary to perform improperly is considered a misdemeanor. This means that the individual would face less serious consequences compared to a felony, such as a lower fine and shorter jail time. While community service is a possible consequence for a misdemeanor, it is not specifically related to coercing a notary. A fine is also a possible consequence, but it is not the specific penalty for coercing a notary to perform improperly.
