Can documents for SB 2328 be e-signed?

Yes, most supporting documents may be executed electronically where the signer demonstrates intent and consent. Federal ESIGN (15 U.S.C. §7001) and state UETA laws validate electronic signatures for many transactions, but check for document-specific exceptions such as certain court filings or documents explicitly excluded under state law.

Is a notarization always required?

Not necessarily. Notarization is required only for specific document types (affidavits, some deeds) and varies by state. Confirm whether a particular exhibit needs notarization before collection; if required, follow the state notary rules where the signer appears.

What authentication should I use for signers?

Select an authentication level proportional to risk: email link for low-risk acknowledgements, SMS or multi-factor for authoritative signatures, and knowledge-based or stronger methods for high-assurance needs involving identity-sensitive documents.

How long must I keep signed materials?

Retain materials according to the longest applicable retention rule: general records commonly three to seven years, with HIPAA-covered records six years (45 CFR §164.530(j)) and IRS-related documents three years (IRC §6501(a)). Check state retention rules for any longer periods.

What if a signature is incorrect or incomplete?

Clerks may request re-execution. Preserve original submission metadata and be ready to re-sign or supply an authenticated affidavit explaining the error. Prompt correction prevents procedural exclusion.

Who can sign on behalf of an agency?

An authorized official or delegated designee with written authority may sign. Maintain documentation of delegation or resolution to demonstrate signatory authority when submitting to legislative clerks.
