Each ex officio notary public appointed under the provisions of this Section shall be submitted to the Senate for confirmation.
B. Such an ex officio notary public may exercise the functions of a notary public only to administer oaths and receive sworn statements and shall otherwise be limited to matters within the official functions of the Department of Justice.
C. All acts performed by such an ex officio notary public authorized by this Section shall be performed without charge or other compensation.
