| 02-22350 | Request for Comments on the Court Documents Exception to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act | Notice | Section 101 of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, Pub. L. No. 106-229, codified at 15 U.S.C. Secs. 7001 et seq. ("ESIGN" or "the Act"), preserves the legal effect, validity, and enforceability of signatures and contracts relating to electronic transactions and electronic signatures used in the formation of electronic contracts. 15 U.S.C. Sec. 7001(a). Sections 103 (a) and (b) of the Act, however, provide that the provisions of section 101 do not apply to contracts and records governed by statutes and regulations regarding probate and domestic law matters; state commercial law; consumer law covering utility services, real property defaults and foreclosures, and insurance benefits; product recall notices; and hazardous materials papers. Section 103 of the Act also requires the Secretary of Commerce, through the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information, to review the operation of these exceptions to evaluate whether they continue to be necessary for consumer protection, and to make recommendations to Congress based on this evaluation. 15 U.S.C. Sec. 7003(c)(1). This Notice is intended to solicit comments from interested parties for purposes of this evaluation, specifically on the court documents and records exception to ESIGN. See 15 U.S.C. Sec. 7003(b)(1). NTIA will publish separate notices requesting comment on the other exceptions listed in section 103 of the ESIGN Act.\1\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 2002-09-03 | 2002 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/09/03/02-22350/request-for-comments-on-the-court-documents-exception-to-the-electronic-signatures-in-global-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-09-03/pdf/02-22350.pdf | Commerce Department; National Telecommunications and Information Administration | 54,373 | Section 101 of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, Pub.
