| Rule on the use of electronic signatures revised | ||
| Issue Date: May 2006 | ||
| Source: IGD, Statewide IT Policy | ||
| The Ohio Office of Information Technology recently issued a revision to rule 123:3-1-01 of the Administrative Code. The revised rule 123:3-1-01 is entitled “Use of electronic records and signatures” and has an effective date of April 3, 2006. | ||
| The revisions to the rule reflect the delegation of Department of Administrative Services (DAS) authority to the Office of Information Technology (OIT). The revision also reduces the reporting and approval requirements for some electronic transactions and clarifies terminology to reflect developments in the information technology security field since December 2000, when the rule was first issued. | ||
| Under this rule revision, agencies are no longer required to receive OIT approval for the use of lower risk electronic transactions. Agencies must still conduct, however, security assessments and complete and maintain on file an electronic transaction form for all electronic transactions. For higher risk electronic transactions, agencies must receive approval from OIT. | ||
