HB 254 - The act would enact the provisions of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act which would make electronic transactions as enforceable as traditional paper transactions if the parties agree to transact electronically. There are some exceptions for documents which must still be executed manually including laws governing the creation of execution of wills, codicils or testamentary trust and other certain provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.

This act also repeals the current Missouri Digital Signatures Act contained in Sections 28.600 through 28.678, RSMo.

This act is similar to SB 37 (2003).
