California SB902 allows electronic signatures for early childhood education and childcare records.

California SB902 amends the Welfare and Institutions Code to allow the use of electronic signatures for early childhood education and childcare records. These electronic signatures must meet the requirements of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The bill also permits the maintenance and storage of records in electronic format, provided they comply with state and federal standards. Contractors must retain these records for at least five years or until an audit is resolved, whichever is longer. The bill ensures that electronic signatures have the same legal effect as manual signatures.
