A. The Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) may allow electronic transmittals of documents and electronic signatures if safeguards are in place to protect against unauthorized use. If a law requires a signature or record to be notarized, acknowledged, verified, or made under oath when filed with OAH, the requirement is satisfied if the electronic signature of the person authorized to perform those acts, together with all other information required to be included by other applicable law, is attached to or logically associated with the signature or record.
B. The Commission for Human Services shall promulgate rules to implement electronic filing and signatures for OAH.
