Notes on how the row was compiledExam is taken under oath within the online application. Page cites Public Act 23-28 on remote notarial acts (effective 2023-10-01), but RON status is null because the page does not state it directly. The page does not mention a bond, so bond fields are null. Not found, so null: RON fee cap, training.
