Requires the commissioner of motor vehicles to accept electronic signatures on any document
This bill requires the commissioner of motor vehicles to accept electronic signatures on any document related to vehicle registration, titles, and other traffic law matters. It establishes specific rules for how these digital signatures must be captured, stored, and verified, including the need for identity checks and the retention of data for five years. While the law mandates acceptance of electronic signatures, it allows the commissioner to require a physical copy of certain odometer documents if the electronic version is created by scanning or imaging. The legislation also clarifies that the commissioner cannot refuse a valid electronic signature or mandate certification of the service provider used to create it.
