15. Electronic Signatures in Global
and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN)
PART I: General Overview of the E-SIGN Act
Public Law No. 106-229
(As it Relates to Federal Agencies)
On June 30, 2000, the President signed into law the Electronic Signatures in Global
and National Commerce Act ("E-SIGN"). This version explains E-SIGN as it relates to
federal agencies, to assist them in becoming familiar with these new requirements.
A. Basic Areas Covered by E-SIGN
E-SIGN promotes the use of electronic contract formation, signatures, and record
keeping in private commerce by establishing legal equivalence between:
$ contracts written on paper and contracts in electronic form;
$ pen-and-ink signatures and electronic signatures; and
$ other legally-required written documents (termed "records") and the same
information in electronic form.
E-SIGN applies broadly to commercial, consumer, and business transactions
affecting interstate or foreign commerce, and to transactions regulated by both
Federal and state government. If there is no writing required by another law, E-SIGN
does not apply.
