Okla. Stat. tit. 12A, § 12A-15-112: Retention of electronic records; originals

RETENTION OF ELECTRONIC RECORDS; ORIGINALS

(a) If a law requires that a record be retained, the

requirement is satisfied by retaining an electronic record of the

information in the record which:

(1) accurately reflects the information set forth in the record

after it was first generated in its final form as an electronic

record or otherwise; and

(2) remains accessible for later reference.

(b) A requirement to retain a record in accordance with

subsection (a) of this section does not apply to any information the

sole purpose of which is to enable the record to be sent,

communicated, or received.

(c) A person may satisfy subsection (a) of this section by

using the services of another person if the requirements of that

subsection are satisfied.

(d) If a law requires a record to be presented or retained in

its original form, or provides consequences if the record is not

presented or retained in its original form, that law is satisfied by

an electronic record retained in accordance with subsection (a) of

this section.

(e) If a law requires retention of a check, that requirement is

satisfied by retention of an electronic record of the information on

the front and back of the check in accordance with subsection (a) of

this section.

(f) A record retained as an electronic record in accordance

with subsection (a) of this section satisfies a law requiring a

person to retain a record for evidentiary, audit, or like purposes,

unless a law enacted after the effective date of this act

specifically prohibits the use of an electronic record for the

specified purpose.

(g) This section does not preclude a governmental agency of

this state from specifying additional requirements for the retention

of a record subject to the agency’s jurisdiction.
