§ 3E.04 — Legal Material in Official Electronic Record

Plain-Language Summary

If the official publisher puts out legal material only in electronic form, it must label the electronic version as official and follow the authentication, preservation, and public access rules. If the publisher also prints a non-electronic version, it may choose to designate the electronic version as official too.

Practical Notes
This means the revisor of statutes can make online versions of laws the official version. When both print and electronic versions exist, the publisher can designate either or both as official, giving the electronic version the same legal weight as print.
