Acceptable Electronic SignatureEffective December 3, 2021, the Louisiana Board of Ethics implemented the Acceptance of Electronic Signature Policy. The agency continues to accept statements signed by hand, but now accepts digital/electronic signatures (e-Signature). An e-Signature is a graphic image of a signature using secure software (e.g., DocuSign, HelloSign, Adobe Sign, etc.) that confirms your identity. The applications must display either a date/time stamp or verification message/number indicating which digital/electronic software was used.
