(a) The facsimile signature is:
(1) Produced by the most efficient device or other method of facsimile reproduction reasonably available; and
(2) Used only under the direction and supervision of the county treasurer whose signature it represents; and
(b) The device or other method of facsimile reproduction is at all times kept securely locked, when not in use, in a separate secure place authorized by the county treasurer, to prevent any misuse, fraudulent use or other improper use.
