(a) A cryptographic signature that is generated and stored through distributed ledger technology is considered to be in an electronic form and to be an electronic signature.
(b) A record or contract that is secured through distributed ledger technology is considered to be in an electronic form and to be an electronic record.
(c) Smart contracts may exist in commerce. No contract relating to a transaction shall be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because that contract is executed through a smart contract.
(d) Notwithstanding any other law, a person that, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, uses distributed ledger technology to secure information that the person owns or has the right to use retains the same rights of ownership or use with respect to that information as before the person secured the information using distributed ledger technology. This subsection (d) does not apply to the use of distributed ledger technology to secure information in connection with a transaction to the extent that the terms of the transaction expressly provide for the transfer of rights of ownership or use with respect to that information.
(e) No implication is made by, and no inference may be drawn from, the enactment of this part as to whether technologies not defined in § 47-10-201 that secure signatures, records, or contracts are considered to be in an electronic form or to be an electronic signature or electronic record, as applicable.
