of thousands but will likely decrease over time as digital
signatures become more standard. Costs will largely depend on
the duration and complexity of each audit. (General Fund)
Potential future administrative savings to agencies and
providers from increased operational efficiency due to the use
of digital signatures.
Author
Amendments: Remove the authority of the CDE to adopt different
requirements related to digital signatures or their acceptable
technology than the requirements outlined in existing law for
other state agencies.
