Summary

The bill allows a Signature Stamp for legal signature

CA Law has allowed the use of a "mark" for persons unable to write a signature. Some entities have been very exclusive of the signature stamps that many persons with disabilities use. Signature stamps allow greater self esteem and independence.
ANALYSIS:
This non-controversial bill establishes the Warren Mattingly
Signature Stamp Act, allowing a disabled person, who is unable
to write, to use a signature stamp to sign a document whenever a
signature is required by law. According to the author, while
signature stamps are currently being used in California,
existing law is silent as to who may use a signature stamp,
under what conditions, and for what purposes. The author
explains that this lack of clarity results in confusion and
unresolved liability issues. According to supporters, the
California Association of Clerks and Election Officials, this
bill, "will provide voters with disabilities who are unable to
write their names with a much needed alternative." This bill
has no known opposition.
