Section 11100 allows the Controller or other State disbursing officers to secure and use a facsimile signature machine and sign or countersign all warrants or checks issued in pursuance of his or her duties by placing a facsimile signature thereon with such machine.
Section 11101 authorizes the Controller and any other state disbursing officer using that machine to secure forgery insurance protecting himself or herself and all funds under his or her control or under the control of the state agency to which the disbursing officer is attached against forgery resulting from or occasioned by the use of the machine, or which would not have occurred had the machine not been in use.
Section 11102 specifies that the premiums on forgery insurance are a proper charge against appropriations for the support or maintenance of the officer using the machine or the State agency to which the officer is attached.
Section 11104.5 provides that any requirement that a state agency send material, information, notices, correspondence, or other communication through the United States mail is deemed to include the authority for the state agency to send that material, information, notice, correspondence, or other communication by electronic mail upon the request of the recipient, unless impracticable to do so, or unless contrary to state or federal law.
In addition, any state agency may require that direct costs incurred by the agency involving the electronic transmission of information be paid by the requester pursuant to this section and the California Public Records Act.
