Summary

The bill lets county clerks sign certifications electronically—using printed, stamped, photographed, or other digital signatures—so long as the clerk’s official seal is attached. It also updates the description of the seal but permits continued use of older seal designs. This modernizes record‑keeping while keeping the seal as a security feature.
