Preliminary matters

6: Use of electronic records

You could also call this:

"Using computers to keep records instead of writing them down"

When a law says you must write down some information, you can type it on a computer instead. The law will still apply in the same way, even if you use a computer to record the information. You can use electronic records for the things the law says you must record.

If the law says you must display a notice or sign, you still have to do that, even if you use electronic records for other things. This rule does not change any other rules about displaying notices or signs. You must still follow those rules.
