Yes Rick asked me to look at it - and I will get back to everyone with more
information. From what I know at this point, there is a lot of confusion
over the relationship between the new federal law and state efforts to enact
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act ('UETA"). (There are some very
complex and unanswered preemption issues that remain). I would not take UETA
off of our state legislative agenda yet.

Bob--rumor has it (I think that rumor started with Rick mentioning it to
me!) that you are putting together an analysis of this bill? Just wanted to
save Mr. Burns some time if that is the case. COuld you please make sure
that the folks on this e mail get a copy of your analysis. Thanks.

Thanks. Enacting electronic signature bills was one of our top ten priorities
for 2000, so if we could get them all in one swoop, what a nice way to take
credit!!!!!

Subject: electronic signature legislation

Steve/Chris--I've been working on putting together a compilation of the
individual state legislation that passed this year for the midwest region on
electronic signature authorization. I saw a blurb in the paper yesterday
that Congress passed a bill this week out of the House on the same issue.
Could you give me some insight as to whether the federal legislation is
comprehensive and will it trump the state legislation or does it granfather
state legislation.
