CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for designation of June 30 as ‘‘National 
ESIGN Day’’. 
Whereas the Electronic Signatures in Global and National 
Commerce Act (ESIGN) was enacted on June 30, 2000, 
to ensure that a signature, contract, or other record re-
lating to a transaction may not be denied legal effect, va-
lidity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic 
form; 
Whereas Congress directed the Secretary of Commerce to 
take all actions necessary to eliminate or reduce, to the 
maximum extent possible, the impediments to commerce 
in electronic signatures, for the purpose of facilitating the 
development of interstate and foreign commerce; and 
Whereas June 30, 2010, marks the 10th anniversary of the 
enactment of ESIGN and would be an appropriate date 
to designate as ‘‘National ESIGN Day’’: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) supports the designation of a ‘‘National 
ESIGN Day’’; 
(2) recognizes the previous contribution made 
by Congress to the adoption of modern solutions 
that keep the United States on the leading techno-
logical edge; and
