How do you conclude that? I see it differently.
I'm not aware of anything in our state notary law that would lead me to believe journal entries are 'public information' here, but there are a couple of things that make me believe otherwise. Specifically, the topic at hand limits access to those individuals who can provide the required details about the document, presuming some previous knowledge. This effectively excludes the general public at large from having access to that info.
Secondly, we're required to keep our journals locked up under our exclusive control. The only exception I can think of is for a notary employed by a company that has paid for his/her notary supplies. They can have access under the supervision of the notary.
If that's what you're referring to, then maybe it's a matter of interpretation, but my idea of public records would be something like those available from County Recorder offices about property ownership, where anyone can have access to search the database.
If there's a definition somewhere that contradicts my assumption, I'd appreciate a citation.
