    1                        A bill to be entitled                      
    2         An act relating to electronic signatures associated
    3         with total loss vehicles and vessels; amending s.
    4         319.30, F.S.; requiring insurance companies or their
    5         authorized agents to implement certain control
    6         processes and procedures for certain electronic
    7         signatures; deleting a requirement that electronic
    8         signatures on odometer disclosures submitted through
    9         insurance companies be executed in a specified manner;
   10         providing an effective date.
   11          
   12  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
   13  
   14         Section 1. Paragraph (d) of subsection (3) of section
   15  319.30, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
   16         319.30 Definitions; dismantling, destruction, change of
   17  identity of motor vehicle, vessel, or mobile home; salvage.—
   18         (3)
   19         (d) An electronic signature that is consistent with chapter
   20  668 satisfies any signature required under this subsection.
   21  However, insurance companies or their authorized agents must
   22  implement control processes and procedures acceptable to the
   23  department to ensure adequate identity verification and
   24  preservation, disposition, integrity, security, confidentiality,
   25  and auditability of electronic signatures, except that an
   26  electronic signature on an odometer disclosure submitted through
   27  an insurance company must be executed using an electronic
   28  signature, as defined in s. 668.003(4), which uses a system
   29  providing an Identity Assurance Level, Authenticator Assurance
   30  Level, and Federation Assurance Level, as described in the
   31  National Institute of Standards and Technology Special
   32  Publication 800-63-3, as of December 1, 2017, which are
   33  equivalent to or greater than Level 2, for each level, for a
   34  certificate of destruction or for a salvage certificate of
   35  title.
   36         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2026.
