AI Summary
This bill amends three different Illinois legal codes (Counties Code, Township Code, and Illinois Municipal Code) to allow counties, townships, and municipalities the option to accept web-based signatures on documents, but only if they use a secure web-based platform. The bill provides local governments with flexibility in digital document signing, enabling them to potentially streamline administrative processes by allowing electronic signatures. A web-based signature refers to an electronic signature method that is authenticated through a secure online platform, which can help reduce paper documentation, increase efficiency, and potentially make government interactions more convenient for residents. The bill does not mandate that local governments adopt web-based signatures, but rather gives them the discretion to implement such a system if they choose to do so and can ensure the security of the digital signing process.
