Yes, I thought about that, too. But it does say at the end of that
sentence "or otherwise," which I took to mean "in any medium."  Like
you, I am not a lawyer, and, like you, I have some outlandish Hawiian
shirts (that I wear to the horror of my kids), so I don't know if it
exactly answers the question of the original post. But I find it
interesting that the law sets some criteria on what constitutes a
reliable/acceptable electronic record in the "Requirement" paragraph.

Must have been someone else using MY COMPUTER again!!  Yeah, I know the
Cardinal Rule, as I told someone else, don't post anything salient on a

California State Workers to see it! http://snipurl.com/cbajz

If I read this correctly "...AFTER IT WAS FIRST GENERATED IN ITS FINAL
FORM AS AN ELECTRONIC RECORD..." then this is speaking about 'born
digital'
records. correct?
