The bill amends Section 42-127.1-8 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act to clarify the conditions under which electronic records can be used in transactions. It specifies that if parties agree to conduct a transaction electronically, the requirement for providing information in writing is satisfied if the information is delivered in an electronic format that the recipient can retain. Additionally, it outlines that if a sender inhibits the recipient's ability to store or print the electronic record, that record is not enforceable against the recipient.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision allowing a party to condition their agreement to conduct a transaction by electronic means on their stated desire to obtain and receive a written copy of the document in English or Spanish before electronic execution of any agreement or performance is required of the party. This act will take effect upon passage.
