Bill > HB520

This bill modifies how state agencies send mail and communicate with individuals in three different contexts: campaign finance reporting, tax notifications, and blind pension administration. For campaign finance, the bill changes language from "mail" to "send" and removes requirements for registered or certified mail for late filing fee notifications. For tax notifications, the bill allows electronic delivery of deficiency notices at the taxpayer's request, with different rules for individual versus non-individual taxpayers. In the blind pension program, the bill specifies that routine notices can be sent by first-class mail, but notices of adverse actions (like terminating payments or setting hearing dates) must be sent both electronically and by certified mail. The bill also clarifies what constitutes an "adverse action" in the blind pension context. These changes aim to modernize communication methods between state agencies and citizens, providing more flexible notification options while ensuring important notices are delivered with appropriate formality and verification.
