19    Section 20. The Illinois Trust and Payable on Death
20Accounts Act is amended by changing Section 4 as follows:
 
21    (205 ILCS 625/4)  (from Ch. 17, par. 2134)
22    Sec. 4. Payable on Death Account Incidents. If one or more
23persons opening or holding an account sign an agreement with
24the institution providing that on the death of the last

 

 

10300HB1636ham001- 48 -LRB103 25127 BMS 58835 a

1surviving person designated as holder the account shall be
2paid to or held by one or more designated beneficiaries, the
3account, and any balance therein which exists from time to
4time, shall be held as a payment on death account and unless
5otherwise agreed in writing between the person or persons
6opening or holding the account and the institution:
7    (a) Any holder during his or her lifetime may change any of
8the designated beneficiaries to own the account at the death
9of the last surviving holder without the knowledge or consent
10of any other holder or the designated beneficiaries by a
11written instrument accepted by the institution;
12    (b) Any holder may make additional deposits to and
13withdraw any part or all of the account at any time without the
14knowledge or consent of any other holder or the designated
15beneficiaries to own the account at the death of the last
16surviving holder, subject to the bylaws and regulations of the
17institution, and all withdrawals shall constitute a revocation
18of the agreement as to the amount withdrawn; and
19    (c) Upon the death of the last surviving holder of the
20account, the beneficiary designated to be the owner of the
21account (i) who is then living, if the beneficiary is a natural
22person, or (ii) that maintains a lawful existence under the
23state or federal authority pursuant to which it was organized,
24if the beneficiary is not a natural person, shall be the sole
25owner of the account. If , unless more than one beneficiary is
26so designated and then living or in existence, then in which

 

 

10300HB1636ham001- 49 -LRB103 25127 BMS 58835 a

1case those beneficiaries shall hold the account in equal
2shares as tenants in common with no right of survivorship as
3between those beneficiaries; and .
4    (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection
5(c), any holder of the account may elect a per stirpes
6distribution option to the descendants of a natural person
7beneficiary if the beneficiary predeceases the last surviving
8holder of the account. The institution may rely on the account
9holder's written representation of the identity of the
10descendants of each beneficiary living at the time of the
11beneficiary designation. The institution may also rely on an
12affidavit executed by a natural person beneficiary or
13descendant of a natural person beneficiary of the last
14surviving holder of the account upon or after the death of the
15account holder that identifies the descendants of any
16predeceased natural person beneficiary. The total percentage
17of the account to be distributed to all beneficiaries upon the
18death of the last surviving holder of the account must equal
19100%. If no beneficiary designated as the owner of the account
20on the death of the last surviving holder is then living or in
21existence, or if a per stirpes distribution has been selected
22and no descendant of a natural person beneficiary is then
23living, then the proceeds shall vest in the estate of the last
24surviving holder of the account.

1    Section 25. The Financial Institutions Electronic
2Documents and Digital Signature Act is amended by changing
3Section 10 as follows:
 
4    (205 ILCS 705/10)
5    Sec. 10. Electronic documents; digital signatures;
6electronic notices.
7    (a) Electronic documents. If in the regular course of
8business, a financial institution possesses, records, or
9generates any document, representation, image, substitute
10check, reproduction, or combination thereof, of any agreement,
11transaction, act, occurrence, or event by any electronic or
12computer-generated process that accurately reproduces,
13comprises, or records the agreement, transaction, act,
14occurrence, or event, the recording, comprising, or
15reproduction shall have the same force and effect under the
16laws of this State as one comprised, recorded, or created on
17paper or other tangible form by writing, typing, printing, or
18similar means.
19    (b) Digital signatures. In any communication,
20acknowledgement, agreement, or contract between a financial
21institution and its customer, in which a signature is required
22or used, any party to the communication, acknowledgement,
23agreement, or contract may affix a signature by use of a
24digital signature, and the digital signature, when lawfully
25used by the person whose signature it purports to be, shall

 

 

10300HB1636ham001- 51 -LRB103 25127 BMS 58835 a

1have the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature
2if it is unique to the person using it, is capable of
3verification, is under the sole control of the person using
4it, and is linked to data in such a manner that if the data are
5changed, the digital signature is invalidated. Nothing in this
6Section shall require any financial institution or customer to
7use or permit the use of a digital signature.
8    (c) Electronic notices.
9        (1) Consent to electronic records. If a statute,
10    regulation, or other rule of law requires that information
11    relating to a transaction or transactions in or affecting
12    intrastate commerce in this State be provided or made
13    available by a financial institution to a consumer in
14    writing, the use of an electronic record to provide or
15    make available that information satisfies the requirement
16    that the information be in writing if:
17            (A) the consumer has affirmatively consented to
18        the use of an electronic record to provide or make
19        available that information and has not withdrawn
20        consent;
21            (B) the consumer, prior to consenting, is provided
22        with a clear and conspicuous statement:
23                (i) informing the consumer of:
24                    (I) any right or option of the consumer to
25                have the record provided or made available on
26                paper or in nonelectronic form, and

 

 

10300HB1636ham001- 52 -LRB103 25127 BMS 58835 a

1                    (II) the right of the consumer to withdraw
2                the consent to have the record provided or
3                made available in an electronic form and of
4                any conditions, consequences (which may
5                include termination of the parties'
6                relationship), or fees in the event of a
7                withdrawal of consent;
8                (ii) informing the consumer of whether the
9            consent applies:
10                    (I) only to the particular transaction
11                that gave rise to the obligation to provide
12                the record, or
13                    (II) to identified categories of records
14                that may be provided or made available during
15                the course of the parties' relationship;
16                (iii) describing the procedures the consumer
17            must use to withdraw consent, as provided in
18            clause (i), and to update information needed to
19            contact the consumer electronically; and
20                (iv) informing the consumer:
21                    (I) how, after the consent, the consumer
22                may, upon request, obtain a paper copy of an
23                electronic record, and
24                    (II) whether any fee will be charged for a
25                paper copy;
26            (C) the consumer:

 

 

10300HB1636ham001- 53 -LRB103 25127 BMS 58835 a

1                (i) prior to consenting, is provided with a
2            statement of the hardware and software
3            requirements for access to and retention of the
4            electronic records; and
5                (ii) consents electronically, or confirms his
6            or her consent electronically, in a manner that
7            reasonably demonstrates that the consumer can
8            access information in the electronic form that
9            will be used to provide the information that is
10            the subject of the consent; and
11            (D) after the consent of a consumer in accordance
12        with subparagraph (A), if a change in the hardware or
13        software requirements needed to access or retain
14        electronic records creates a material risk that the
15        consumer will not be able to access or retain a
16        subsequent electronic record that was the subject of
17        the consent, the person providing the electronic
18        record:
19                (i) provides the consumer with a statement of:
20                    (I) the revised hardware and software
21                requirements for access to and retention of
22                the electronic records, and
23                    (II) the right to withdraw consent without
24                the imposition of any fees for the withdrawal
25                and without the imposition of any condition or
26                consequence that was not disclosed under

 

 

10300HB1636ham001- 54 -LRB103 25127 BMS 58835 a

1                subparagraph (B)(i); and
2                (ii) again complies with subparagraph (C).
3        (2) Other rights.
4            (A) Preservation of consumer protections. Nothing
5        in this subsection (c) affects the content or timing
6        of any disclosure or other record required to be
7        provided or made available to any consumer under any
8        statute, regulation, or other rule of law.
9            (B) Verification or acknowledgment. If a law that
10        was enacted prior to this amendatory Act of the 95th
11        General Assembly expressly requires a record to be
12        provided or made available by a specified method that
13        requires verification or acknowledgment of receipt,
14        the record may be provided or made available
15        electronically only if the method used provides the
16        required verification or acknowledgment of receipt.
17        (2.5) Consent to electronic transactions given by the
18    customer pursuant to the federal Electronic Signatures in
19    Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. 7001, shall
20    satisfy the consent requirements of this Act.
21        (3) Effect of failure to obtain electronic consent or
22    confirmation of consent. The legal effectiveness,
23    validity, or enforceability of any contract executed by a
24    consumer shall not be denied solely because of the failure
25    to obtain electronic consent or confirmation of consent by
26    that consumer in accordance with paragraph (1)(C)(ii).

 

 

10300HB1636ham001- 55 -LRB103 25127 BMS 58835 a

1        (4) Prospective effect. Withdrawal of consent by a
2    consumer shall not affect the legal effectiveness,
3    validity, or enforceability of electronic records provided
4    or made available to that consumer in accordance with
5    paragraph (1) prior to implementation of the consumer's
6    withdrawal of consent. A consumer's withdrawal of consent
7    shall be effective within a reasonable period of time
8    after receipt of the withdrawal by the provider of the
9    record. Failure to comply with paragraph (1)(D) may, at
10    the election of the consumer, be treated as a withdrawal
11    of consent for purposes of this paragraph.
12        (5) Prior consent. This subsection does not apply to
13    any records that are provided or made available to a
14    consumer who has consented prior to the effective date of
15    this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly to
16    receive the records in electronic form as permitted by any
17    statute, regulation, or other rule of law.
18        (6) Oral communications. An oral communication or a
19    recording of an oral communication shall not qualify as an
20    electronic record for purposes of this subsection (c),
21    except as otherwise provided under applicable law.

5of the decedent.

15person has actual knowledge to the contrary. Any person,
16corporation, or financial institution that conducts business
17or performs transactions on behalf of or at the direction of an
18executor or administrator with the will annexed shall be fully
19protected and released from liability to the same extent that
20the executor or administrator with the will annexed would be
21if the executor or administrator with the will annexed was
22lawfully authorized to conduct the business or perform the
23transaction, unless the person, corporation, or financial
24institution had actual knowledge that the executor or
