Ueta.

[hassen1]

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) is a proposed state law that recognizes the validity of digital records and digital signatures relating to a transaction. Specifically, UETA provides that a record, signature or contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form or because an electronic record was used in its formation. In addition, if a law requires a signature or a record to be in writing, an electronic signature or an electronic record satisfies the law. In many cases, UETA is more comprehensive than state digital signature laws. UETA has been adopted in 18 states (not Colorado) and introduced in 11 more. Colorado's Governor Bill Owens supports enacting UETA.

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) provides a legal framework for electronic transactions. It gives electronic signatures and records the same validity and enforceability as manual signatures and paper-based transactions. This model act was adopted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) in 1999. To see the full text of the act and additional information, see the NCCUSL web site, http://www.nccusl.org/.
