Electronic Commerce Enhancement Act (H.R. 2991)
Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Rep. W.J. (Billy) Tauzin (R-LA) have introduced the Electronic Commerce Enhancement Act (H.R. 2991), which would instruct federal agencies to make versions of their forms available online and allow people to sign the forms using digital signatures--the online equivalent of written signatures. At present, only some government documents are available online, and most agencies
accept only physical signatures to verify the authenticity of forms sent to them. Rep. Eshoo serves on the House Commerce Subcommittee on Telecommunications, Trade, and Consumer Protection, which is chaired by Rep. Tauzin.
