Adopt Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act

This bill establishes the Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act to create a standardized framework for publishing Montana's legal documents, including the state constitution, session laws, and the Montana Code Annotated, in electronic format. It requires official publishers to designate electronic records as official, authenticate them to ensure accuracy, preserve them securely with backup systems, and maintain permanent public access. The legislation also sets standards for implementation by considering practices from other jurisdictions and national guidelines, while clarifying that authenticated electronic records are presumed accurate unless proven otherwise.
