TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - A Tyler notary says a proposed Texas House bill could add a difficult new responsibility to her job: determining whether clients are associated with designated foreign terrorist organizations.

House Bill 733, filed by Rep. Joanne Shofner, R-Nacogdoches, would require notaries to make that determination and could expose them to a state jail felony charge for a prohibited notarization committed with criminal negligence.

The bill does not specify how notaries must verify a person's association or membership.
