§ 874.323.Supersedes the Electronic Signatures In Global and National Commerce Act; Exceptions

This closing section is boilerplate required whenever a state law lets electronic records substitute for paper ones, which this chapter does through its broad definition of "record" in § 874.312. Federal law — the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act — generally preempts state rules touching electronic records unless the state law fits within specific statutory exceptions.

Section 874.323 is what fits this chapter within those exceptions: it modifies, limits, and supersedes the federal act as applied here, but it doesn't disturb Section 101(c) of that act, which protects consumers' right to consent to electronic records, and it doesn't authorize delivering electronically any of the notices that Section 103(b) says still have to be delivered another way.
