Whenever the secretary of state receives notice of a surety's intention to cancel a notary's bond, said secretary of state shall notify the affected notary public that unless such notary files another good and sufficient surety bond with the secretary of state on or before the cancellation date of such notary public's surety bond, then such notary will no longer be authorized to perform notarial acts within this state.
