If the revolving fund is terminated, to which fund are notary fees deposited?

• A. Notaries Public Revolving Fund
• B. General Fund
• C. Capital Projects Fund
• D. Special Revenue Fund

Answer: (B)

When a dedicated revolving fund is terminated, the revenues that had been deposited into that fund are redirected to the General Fund. For the notary program, fees are normally deposited into the Notaries Public Revolving Fund to cover program costs. If that revolving fund ends, those notary fees aren’t kept in a separate restricted account; they go to the General Fund, which is the default repository for revenues not dedicated to another specific fund.

The other funds—Capital Projects Fund and Special Revenue Fund—are designated for specific purposes (capital projects or specific programs), and notary fees aren’t restricted to those purposes, so they wouldn’t be deposited there.
