Specifically, any business required to comply with any business registration requirements of the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services in the Department of Treasury or any successor agency must establish and maintain an email address capable of sending and receiving emails, and annually report that email address to the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, which is required to provide those email addresses to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
