If any provision of law requires a signature or any record, bail undertaking, summons, or affidavit to be signed, acknowledged, verified, or made under oath by a criminal offender, the requirement is satisfied if the electronic signature of the offender, together with all other information required to be included by other applicable law, is attached to or logically associated with the signature or record.

C. For purposes of this Section, "electronic signature" shall mean an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.
