If the secretary and the department of technology, management, and budget have approved the use of 1 or more electronic notarization systems under section 26a, the notary public must select the system he or she intends to use from the approved electronic notarization systems. The secretary may disallow the use of an electronic notarization system if the electronic notarization system does not satisfy the criteria described in section 26a.
