To clarify what I mean by administrative rules, in all the states I know of, the legislature allows various agencies in the executive branch to fill in the details about how certain laws will work. For Vermont, these rules may be found at

If you browse through that you will not find any rules at all for notaries public. There is an emergency rule about remote ink notarization, but I think that's on a separate web page.
As an example of details to be filled in, the law has few details about how electronic notarizations are to be done. For example, if a notary has a digital certificate that she uses for her personal affairs, could she use that certificate to do notarizations too, or would she need a different certificate that's just for notarizations? No answer.
