Description
In the current legal environment, both consumers and companies expect to transact business digitally. To remain competitive, companies are escalating digital business operations.
Several states have passed legislation expanding the definitions of digital identities and the scope of electronic signatures and records. States are loosening restrictions on notices and consents sent electronically and increasing electronic communications. Remote online notarization is currently allowed in 44 states, and state laws have eased requirements for a notarial witness and the use of remote notarization.
Federal agencies and state laws have expanded the use of electronic signatures and records. Several states have adopted the Model Money Transmission Modernization Act in whole or in part. The Federal Communications Commission adopted new TCPA rules for lead-generated communications. Federal and state case law has begun to address the regulatory changes in this evolving environment.
Listen as our authoritative panel discusses the current status of e-signatures, e-contracts, and remote notarizations. The panel will review the changes in legislation and case law in this area.
