The document discusses the Georgia Electronic Records and Signatures Act, which grants departments, agencies, authorities, and instrumentalities of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions the legal authority to determine how they will create, send, receive, store, recognize, accept, be bound by, or use electronic records and signatures. It emphasizes that electronic records and signatures have legal equivalence to traditional ones, and outlines rules regarding their admissibility and validity in legal proceedings. The Act allows agencies discretion in implementing electronic records and signatures, with a focus on the broad empowerment granted to state and local government agencies. The document also touches on potential interactions with the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act and the importance of agencies clearly expressing their intent to use electronic means in contracts and transactions.
