In a proceeding, evidence of a record or signature may not be excluded solely because it is in electronic form.

Source: L. 2002: Entire article added, p. 852, § 1, effective May 30.

OFFICIAL COMMENT

Like Section 7, this section prevents the nonrecognition of electronic records and signatures solely on the ground of the media in which information is presented.

Nothing in this section relieves a party from establishing the necessary foundation for the admission of an electronic record. See Uniform Rules of Evidence 1001(3), 1002, 1003, and 1004.
