Yes, this was done once, in late May 2011, but it was not exactly a law. The president was out of the country on diplomatic business, and the Patriot Act was about to expire. There was a concern he might not get back in time to sign the re-authorization (which also meant the bill's funding would not be approved in time); it was decided that rather than have the Act expire, he would sign the bill to re-authorize it by using an autopen, which is what happened.

Did Obama sign a bill with an autopen?
Yes. He was in Europe on official business in May 2011, and the Patriot Act needed to be re-authorized; rather than having a member of his staff fly the bill to him in France, which would have been expensive, he okayed the re-authorization and it was then signed by the autopen. Many presidents have used an autopen for other official duties, and it is in no way unusual. It is generally used to sign photos or to sign letters being sent to constituents. But some sources say this was the first time a piece of legislation was signed using an autopen.
