§ 15.
Electronic and facsimile filing of documents. (a) The Secretary of State may adopt rules to authorize the electronic filing of any document required to be filed with the Secretary under any Act administered by the Secretary. The rules may set forth standards for the acceptance of a signature in a form other than the proper handwriting of the person filing a document that requires his or her signature. (b) The Secretary of State may adopt rules that authorize the filing by facsimile of any document required to be filed with the Secretary under any Act administered by the Secretary. A signature on a document filed by facsimile in accordance with those rules is prima facie evidence for all purposes that the document actually was signed by the person whose signature appears on the facsimile.
