Description

Clerk of the State Corporation Commission; secure online system; articles of dissolution; emergency. Requires the clerk of the State Corporation Commission, by July 1, 2014, to ensure that the Commission's eFile electronic registration system is secure. The system shall be deemed secure if it (i) provides a means to verify the identity of users; (ii) designates each user as having access with regard to one or more specified business entities; and (iii) allows users to access information regarding, and to make changes to records in the system affecting, only a business entity for which the user is designated. The measure also directs the clerk to ensure that any articles of dissolution of a stock or nonstock corporation that are filed in his office are signed by the chairman, a vice-chairman, the president, or any other of its officers authorized to act on behalf of the corporation who are listed as a director or principal officer on the corporation's most recently filed annual report.

What a weird thing to introduce legislation about. It seems like a policy directive would be more appropriate. Are relations between the SCC and the rest of government so bad that we need a law passed to get the clerk to make sure that their system is secure?
