ESRA mandates that government entities exploring electronic signature implementation must conduct a thorough analysis of available options, potential risks, and overall feasibility. The proposal requests detailed information regarding specific program documents being considered for electronic signature adoption. It also outlines critical provisions related to providing paper copies of records to signatories, as stipulated by ESRA, ensuring that individuals retain the legal right to access documents and receive them in paper format as required by law. The document is structured to gather necessary data for compliance and successful implementation of electronic signature technology within government operations, emphasizing adherence to legal and regulatory frameworks.",{"@graph":63,"@context":119},[64,80,102],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":36,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/proposal-for-use-of-electronic-signatures/170780/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/proposal-for-use-of-electronic-signatures/170780.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Quinn Holloway","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","2026-10-23","2026-09-01",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":101},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",9,{"@type":103,"mainEntity":104},"FAQPage",[105,111,115],{"name":106,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":108},"What is the purpose of this document?","Question",{"text":109,"@type":110},"This document is a proposal for the use of electronic signatures by government entities, as required by the Electronic Signatures and Records Act (ESRA).","Answer",{"name":112,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":113},"What does ESRA require for entities considering electronic signatures?",{"text":114,"@type":110},"ESRA requires government entities to conduct an analysis of options, risks, and feasibility before adopting electronic signatures.",{"name":116,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":117},"What are the provisions regarding paper copies for signatories?",{"text":118,"@type":110},"ESRA mandates that signatories must be given access to records as permitted by law and have the right to receive paper copies of the documents.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":78,"og:type":121,"og:title":59,"og:site_name":91,"og:description":61},"article",{"robots":123,"canonical":78},"index,follow",{"doc_id":125,"site_id":56},170780,1788275423,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":128},{"doc_id":125,"user_id":129,"nickname":88,"user_avatar":130,"doc_module":9,"category_id":35,"category_name":36,"doc_title":59,"doc_description":61,"doc_content":131,"file_id":132,"file_url":133,"file_type":134,"file_size":135,"view_count":101,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":9,"is_downloadable":9,"audit_status":9,"page_count":73,"language":136,"language_code":57,"site_id":56,"html_lang":57,"table_of_contents":137,"faqs":138,"seo_title":139,"seo_description":61,"update_tm":126,"read_time":9},2336474466712,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_a8503ba1806abce46bf441b54a3ca4cd","Proposal for Use of Electronic Signatures (2015)\nDate:  \u0003Click here to enter a date.\u0004\nThe Electronic Signatures and Records Act (ESRA) required government entities who are considering the use of electronic signatures to conduct an analysis of options, risk, and feasibility.
