1801.1
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
department may allow a person to submit any document required to be
submitted to the department by using electronic media deemed feasible
by the department instead of requiring the actual submittal of the
original document.
(b) If a signature on a document is required by law in order to
complete a transaction, and the document is submitted electronically,
that signature requirement may be met by an electronically submitted
signature, if the department retains information verifying the
identity of the person submitting the electronic signature.
(c) The department may establish minimum transaction volume
levels, audit and security standards, and technological requirements,
or terms and conditions, including methods of authentication for
electronically submitted signatures, it deems necessary for the
approval of this process.
(d) An electronically submitted document, once accepted by the
department, shall be deemed the same as an original document, and
shall be admissible in all administrative, quasi-judicial, and
judicial proceedings.
