Summary

The bill would give electronic signatures the same legal effect as handwritten ones for any warrant or domestic‑abuse protection order, except no‑knock warrants. It requires secure, encrypted systems that record the time and date of signatures and lets judges meet with applicants via video. The change aims to modernize court processes while maintaining authenticity.
