Creates provisions for obtaining electronic signatures on initiative petitions

This bill allows registered voters to use electronic signatures instead of handwritten ones when collecting signatures for ballot initiative and referendum petitions. It requires the Secretary of State to create a secure website where voters can submit their digital signatures, which must include personal details like name and address to verify identity. The law ensures that electronic signatures have the same legal weight as manual signatures, provided they meet specific security standards and are not duplicated or repudiated. Additionally, the Secretary of State must establish rules to maintain an audit trail of submissions to prevent fraud and ensure the integrity of the petition process.
