Are you sure? I don't think there is!

Is that true? I think this is the source of error here. In your quote citation (the full extent of my knowledge on this topic), it says that the bill being signed is to facilitate the use of those signatures, and to ensure the validity. It doesn't state that it is making e-signatures legal for the first time ever, it's stating that it is clarifying that they are for-sure good-to-go.

I don't think there is a bug in the procedure.
