What SB 902 does, verified August 23, 2026
<p>This bill aims to update the childcare system in California by allowing electronic signatures for childcare providers. The proposed law would specify that electronic signatures, in compliance with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, can be used as a valid method of signing required documents. The documents with electronic signatures can be created and stored in electronic format, and the state department of social services would have the authority to establish regulations to implement these provisions.</p>
