PS 1.0 Interpretation of the terms, "signature" and "express mail" for the purposes of A.A.C. R2-19-108 Filing Documents.

"Signature" includes any affirmative mark. For example, the placing of a mark in an electronic document which states that by doing so one affirms that the document has been read, that there is a good basis for the submission of the document and that it is not filed for the purpose of delay or harassment, meets the requirements of A.A.C. R2-19-108(D).

"Express mail" includes e-mail, overnight mail or any other type of expedited delivery. Therefore, the filing of a document with the Office or the service of a document upon other parties by such means satisfies the requirements of A.A.C. R2-19-108(E).
