California does not recognize a "Signing Agent" in their business and professions code. So a CA notary can charge $15 per notarized signature and a travel charge that is agreed to between the notary and the customer. As for the class action lawsuit, who are they going to sue? Notaries are independent so there is no entity to sue. This make absolutely no sense to me for a class action. And if they tried suing the title companies who hire notaries, they would pretty much have to sue each title company. I see this pretty much as a non starter.
