The "DMV e-Signature Act" authorizes the director of the division of motor vehicles to adopt rules regarding the acceptance of electronic signatures on various records, documents, applications, and forms. The bill amends RSA 259 by inserting a new section that defines "signature" to include both written and electronic signatures, as authorized by the director. Additionally, it amends RSA 260:5 to grant the director the authority to accept electronic signatures as defined in RSA 294-E:2, VIII, and to prescribe the specific records and forms that may utilize electronic signatures.

The bill also clarifies that all rulemaking authority granted to the department and its officials is subject to the provisions of RSA 541-A, ensuring that any rules regarding electronic signatures are established in compliance with existing administrative procedures. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
