Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Millennium Digital Commerce Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The growth of electronic commerce and electronic
government transactions represent a powerful force for economic
growth, consumer choice, improved civic participation and
wealth creation.
(2) The promotion of growth in private sector electronic
commerce through Federal legislation is in the national
interest because that market is globally important to the
United States.
(3) A consistent legal foundation, across multiple
jurisdictions, for electronic commerce will promote the growth
of such transactions, and that such a foundation should be
based upon a simple, technology neutral, nonregulatory, and
market-based approach.
(4) The Nation and the world stand at the beginning of a
large scale transition to an information society which will
require innovative legal and policy approaches, and therefore,
States can serve the national interest by continuing their
proven role as laboratories of innovation for quickly evolving
areas of public policy, provided that States also adopt a
consistent, reasonable national baseline to eliminate obsolete
barriers to electronic commerce such as undue paper and pen
requirements, and further, that any such innovation should not
unduly burden inter-jurisdictional commerce.
(5) To the extent State laws or regulations do not provide
a consistent, reasonable national baseline or in fact create an
undue burden to interstate commerce in the important burgeoning
area of electronic commerce, the national interest is best
served by Federal preemption to the extent necessary to provide
such consistent, reasonable national baseline or eliminate said
burden, but that absent such lack of a consistent, reasonable
national baseline or such undue burdens, the best legal system
for electronic commerce will result from continuing
experimentation by individual jurisdictions.
(6) With due regard to the fundamental need for a
consistent national baseline, each jurisdiction that enacts
such laws should have the right to determine the need for any
exceptions to protect consumers and maintain consistency with
existing related bodies of law within a particular
jurisdiction.
(7) Industry has developed several electronic signature
technologies for use in electronic transactions, and the public
policies of the United States should serve to promote a dynamic
marketplace within which these technologies can compete.
Consistent with this Act, States should permit the use and
development of any authentication technologies that are
appropriate as practicable as between private parties and in
use with State agencies.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to permit and encourage the continued expansion of
electronic commerce through the operation of free market forces
rather than proscriptive governmental mandates and regulations;
(2) to promote public confidence in the validity, integrity
and reliability of electronic commerce and online government
under Federal law;
(3) to facilitate and promote electronic commerce by
clarifying the legal status of electronic records and
electronic signatures in the context of contract formation;
(4) to facilitate the ability of private parties engaged in
interstate transactions to agree among themselves on the
appropriate electronic signature technologies for their
transactions; and
(5) to promote the development of a consistent national
legal infrastructure necessary to support of electronic
commerce at the Federal and State levels within areas of
jurisdiction.

enactment of this Act, that may impose a barrier to electronic
transactions, or otherwise to the conduct of commerce online or be
electronic means. Such barriers include, but are not limited to,
barriers imposed by a law or regulation directly or indirectly
requiring that signatures, or records of transactions, be accomplished
or retained in other than electronic form. In its report, each agency
shall identify the barriers among those identified whose removal would
require legislative action, and shall indicate agency plans to
undertake regulatory action to remove such barriers among those
identified as are caused by regulations issued by the agency.
(b) Report to Congress.--The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation
with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, shall, within
18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, and after the

by this section omits recommendations for actions needed to fully

electronic commerce, it shall include a finding or findings, including
substantial reasons therefore, that such removal is impracticable or
would be inconsistent with the implementation or enforcement of
