21 by agreement, but:
22 (1) to the extent a law other than this Act requires
23 information to be provided, sent, or delivered in writing
24 but permits that requirement to be varied by agreement,
25 the requirement under subsection (a) that the information
26 be in the form of an electronic record capable of
27 retention may also be varied by agreement; and
28 (2) a requirement under a law other than this Act to
29 send, communicate, or transmit a record by regular United
30 States mail, may be varied by agreement to the extent
31 permitted by the other law.

-12- LRB9206094JScsam
1 and electronic signature.
2 (a) An electronic record or electronic signature is
3 attributable to a person if it was the act of the person.
4 The act of the person may be shown in any manner, including a
5 showing of the efficacy of any security procedure applied to
6 determine the person to which the electronic record or
7 electronic signature was attributable.
8 (b) The effect of an electronic record or electronic
9 signature attributed to a person under subsection (a) is
10 determined from the context and surrounding circumstances at
11 the time of its creation, execution, or adoption, including
12 the parties' agreement, if any, and otherwise as provided by
13 law.
14 (5 ILCS 175/5-114 new)
15 Sec. 5-114. Effect of change or error. If a change or
16 error in an electronic record occurs in a transmission
17 between parties to a transaction, the following rules apply:
18 (1) If the parties have agreed to use a security
19 procedure to detect changes or errors and one party has
20 conformed to the procedure, but the other party has not, and
21 the nonconforming party would have detected the change or
22 error had that party also conformed, the conforming party may
23 avoid the effect of the changed or erroneous electronic
24 record.
25 (2) In an automated transaction involving an individual,
26 the individual may avoid the effect of an electronic record
27 that resulted from an error made by the individual in dealing
28 with the electronic agent of another person if the electronic
29 agent did not provide an opportunity for the prevention or
30 correction of the error and, at the time the individual
31 learns of the error, the individual:
32 (A) promptly notifies the other person of the error
33 and that the individual did not intend to be bound by
-13- LRB9206094JScsam
1 the electronic record received by the other person;
2 (B) takes reasonable steps, including steps that
3 conform to the other person's reasonable instructions, to
4 return to the other person or, if instructed by the other
5 person, to destroy the consideration received, if any, as
6 a result of the erroneous electronic record; and
7 (C) has not used or received any benefit or value
8 from the consideration, if any, received from the other
9 person.
10 (3) If neither paragraph (1) nor paragraph (2) applies,
11 the change or error has the effect provided by other law,
12 including the law of mistake, and the parties' contract, if
13 any.

15 agreement.
16 (5 ILCS 175/5-116 new)
17 Sec. 5-116. Notarization and acknowledgment. If a law
18 requires a signature or record to be notarized, acknowledged,
19 verified, or made under oath, the requirement is satisfied if
20 the electronic signature of the person authorized to perform
21 those acts, together with all other information required to
22 be included by other applicable law, is attached to or
23 logically associated with the signature or record.
24 (5 ILCS 175/5-117 new)
25 Sec. 5-117. Retention of electronic records; originals.
26 (a) If a law requires that a record be retained, the
27 requirement is satisfied by retaining an electronic record of
28 the information in the record which:
29 (1) accurately reflects the information set forth in
30 the record after it was first generated in its final form
31 as an electronic record or otherwise; and
32 (2) remains accessible for later reference.
-14- LRB9206094JScsam
1 (b) A requirement to retain a record in accordance with
2 subsection (a) does not apply to any information the sole
3 purpose of which is to enable the record to be sent,
4 communicated, or received.
5 (c) A person may satisfy subsection (a) by using the
6 services of another person if the requirements of that
7 subsection are satisfied.
8 (d) If a law requires a record to be presented or
9 retained in its original form, or provides consequences if
10 the record is not presented or retained in its original form,
11 that law is satisfied by an electronic record retained in
12 accordance with subsection (a).
13 (e) If a law requires retention of a check, that
14 requirement is satisfied by retention of an electronic record
15 of the information on the front and back of the check in
16 accordance with subsection (a).
17 (f) A record retained as an electronic record in
18 accordance with subsection (a) satisfies a law requiring a
19 person to retain a record for evidentiary, audit, or like
20 purposes, unless a law enacted after the effective date of
21 this Act specifically prohibits the use of an electronic
22 record for the specified purpose.
23 (g) This Section does not preclude a governmental agency
24 of this State from specifying additional requirements for the
25 retention of a record subject to the agency's jurisdiction.
26 (5 ILCS 175/5-118 new)
27 Sec. 5-118. Admissibility in evidence. In a proceeding,
28 evidence of a record or signature may not be excluded solely
29 because it is in electronic form.
30 (5 ILCS 175/5-119 new)
31 Sec. 5-119. Automated transaction. In an automated
32 transaction, the following rules apply:
-15- LRB9206094JScsam
1 (1) A contract may be formed by the interaction of
2 electronic agents of the parties, even if no individual was
3 aware of or reviewed the electronic agents' actions or the
4 resulting terms and agreements.
5 (2) A contract may be formed by the interaction of an
6 electronic agent and an individual, acting on the
7 individual's own behalf or for another person, including by
8 an interaction in which the individual performs actions that
9 the individual is free to refuse to perform and which the
10 individual knows or has reason to know will cause the
11 electronic agent to complete the transaction or performance.
12 (3) The terms of the contract are determined by the
13 substantive law applicable to it.
14 (5 ILCS 175/5-121 new)
15 Sec. 5-121. Time and place of sending and receipt.
16 (a) Unless otherwise agreed between the sender and the
17 recipient, an electronic record is sent when it:
18 (1) is addressed properly or otherwise directed
19 properly to an information processing system that the
20 recipient has designated or uses for the purpose of
21 receiving electronic records or information of the type
22 sent and from which the recipient is able to retrieve the
23 electronic record;
24 (2) is in a form capable of being processed by that
25 system; and
26 (3) enters an information processing system outside
27 the control of the sender or of a person that sent the
28 electronic record on behalf of the sender or enters a
29 region of the information processing system designated or
30 used by the recipient which is under the control of the
31 recipient.
32 (b) Unless otherwise agreed between a sender and the
33 recipient, an electronic record is received when:
-16- LRB9206094JScsam
1 (1) it enters an information processing system that
2 the recipient has designated or uses for the purpose of
3 receiving electronic records or information of the type
4 sent and from which the recipient is able to retrieve the
5 electronic record; and
6 (2) it is in a form capable of being processed by
7 that system.
8 (c) Subsection (b) applies even if the place the
9 information processing system is located is different from
10 the place the electronic record is deemed to be received
11 under subsection (d).
12 (d) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the
13 electronic record or agreed between the sender and the
14 recipient, an electronic record is deemed to be sent from the
15 sender's place of business and to be received at the
16 recipient's place of business. For purposes of this
17 subsection, the following rules apply:
18 (1) If the sender or recipient has more than one
19 place of business, the place of business of that person
20 is the place having the closest relationship to the
21 underlying transaction.
22 (2) If the sender or the recipient does not have a
23 place of business, the place of business is the sender's
24 or recipient's residence, as the case may be.
25 (e) An electronic record is received under subsection
26 (b) even if no individual is aware of its receipt.
27 (f) Receipt of an electronic acknowledgment from an
28 information processing system described in subsection (b)
29 establishes that a record was received but, by itself, does
30 not establish that the content sent corresponds to the
31 content received.
32 (g) If a person is aware that an electronic record
33 purportedly sent under subsection (a), or purportedly
34 received under subsection (b), was not actually sent or
-17- LRB9206094JScsam
1 received, the legal effect of the sending or receipt is
2 determined by other applicable law. Except to the extent
3 permitted by the other law, the requirements of this
4 subsection may not be varied by agreement.

6 Sec. 5-122. Transferable records.
7 (a) In this Section, "transferable record" means an
8 electronic record that:
9 (1) would be a note under Article 3 of the Uniform
10 Commercial Code or a document under Article 7 of the
11 Uniform Commercial Code if the electronic record were in
12 writing; and
13 (2) the issuer of the electronic record expressly
14 has agreed is a transferable record.
15 (b) A person has control of a transferable record if a
16 system employed for evidencing the transfer of interests in
17 the transferable record reliably establishes that person as
18 the person to which the transferable record was issued or
19 transferred.
20 (c) A system satisfies subsection (b), and a person is
21 deemed to have control of a transferable record, if the
22 transferable record is created, stored, and assigned in such
23 a manner that:
24 (1) a single authoritative copy of the transferable
25 record exists which is unique, identifiable, and, except
26 as otherwise provided in paragraphs (4), (5), and (6),
27 unalterable;
28 (2) the authoritative copy identifies the person
29 asserting control as:
30 (A) the person to which the transferable record
31 was issued; or
32 (B) if the authoritative copy indicates that
33 the transferable record has been transferred, the
-18- LRB9206094JScsam
1 person to which the transferable record was most
2 recently transferred;
3 (3) the authoritative copy is communicated to and
4 maintained by the person asserting control or its
5 designated custodian;
6 (4) copies or revisions that add or change an
7 identified assignee of the authoritative copy can be made
8 only with the consent of the person asserting control;
9 (5) each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy
10 of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not
11 the authoritative copy; and
12 (6) any revision of the authoritative copy is
13 readily identifiable as authorized or unauthorized.
14 (d) Except as otherwise agreed, a person having control
15 of a transferable record is the holder, as defined in Section
16 1-201(20) of the Uniform Commercial Code, of the transferable
17 record and has the same rights and defenses as a holder of an
18 equivalent record or writing under the Uniform Commercial
19 Code, including, if the applicable statutory requirements
20 under Section 3-302(a), 7-501, or 9-308 of the Uniform
21 Commercial Code are satisfied, the rights and defenses of a
22 holder in due course, a holder to which a negotiable document
23 of title has been duly negotiated, or a purchaser,
24 respectively. Delivery, possession, and indorsement are not
25 required to obtain or exercise any of the rights under this
26 subsection.
27 (e) Except as otherwise agreed, an obligor under a
28 transferable record has the same rights and defenses as an
29 equivalent obligor under equivalent records or writings under
30 the Uniform Commercial Code.
31 (f) If requested by a person against which enforcement
32 is sought, the person seeking to enforce the transferable
33 record shall provide reasonable proof that the person is in
34 control of the transferable record. Proof may include access
-19- LRB9206094JScsam
1 to the authoritative copy of the transferable record and
2 related business records sufficient to review the terms of
3 the transferable record and to establish the identity of the
4 person having control of the transferable record.
