Those seeking exemption (the initiator) should fill out their name and email, as well as, the name and email of their authorized supervisor. Select the “Begin Signing” button.
Upon opening, check the box next to “I agree to use electronic records and signatures.” And select 'Continue'.
Fill in all mandatory “red” boxes & optional “gray” boxes as needed. Attach any addendum or supporting documents to the form. The documents will upload as an additional page to the form.
Select “Finish” when the form is complete; a notice will automatically generate to the authorized supervisor for signature.
