In no event shall an individual be required to submit documents or information only in electronic or digital form; nor shall documents or information be made available to an individual only in electronic or digital form. Submission in electronic or digital form may be permitted pursuant to this section notwithstanding that any law, rule or regulation requires documents or information to be written or to be submitted in writing, specifies that documents or information be signed, certified, verified or witnessed, or otherwise explicitly or implicitly requires the preparation or submission of documents or information on paper or in written form.
