(15 ILCS 305/15)
Sec. 15.
Electronic and facsimile filing of documents.
(a) The Secretary of State may adopt rules to authorize the electronic
filing of any document required to be filed with the Secretary under any Act
administered by the Secretary. The rules may set forth standards for the
acceptance of a signature in a form other than the proper handwriting of the
person filing a document that requires his or her signature.
(b) The Secretary of State may adopt rules that authorize the filing by
facsimile of any document required to be filed with the Secretary under any Act
administered by the Secretary. A signature on a document filed by facsimile in
accordance with those rules is prima facie evidence for all purposes that the
document actually was signed by the person whose signature appears on the
facsimile.
