Bill Summary
AN ACT To enact R.S. 32:714, relative to electronic signatures and the office of motor vehicles; to provide for the acceptance of digital signatures; to provide for the acceptance of electronic signatures; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill allows for the use of electronic signatures on vehicle titles and related documents, such as those for sales, transfers, registration, or liens, provided the office of motor vehicles or its agents have the necessary technology. This means that documents will not be rejected solely because they are in electronic form, and an electronic signature will be legally valid for any requirement of a signature. However, this does not eliminate other legal requirements like witnessing, acknowledgment, or notarization, though it does permit electronic or remote online notarization for documents that require it.
