Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) is a model law that has been adopted by most states in the US to provide legal recognition to electronic signatures and records. The federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act) also provides similar legal recognition to electronic signatures and records. However, the E-Sign Act does not preempt the UETA. Instead, both laws can coexist and provide complementary legal frameworks for electronic transactions.
