AI Summary

This bill requires state agencies, healthcare providers, and financial institutions to provide documents in paper form when completing those documents is a mandatory prerequisite for receiving government, healthcare, or financial services. The legislation aims to ensure that consumers have access to physical, paper copies of important documents that are necessary for accessing essential services, rather than being limited to digital or electronic formats. By mandating paper document availability, the bill seeks to address potential accessibility issues for consumers who may have difficulties with digital documents, such as those without reliable internet access, those less comfortable with technology, or individuals who prefer or require physical documentation. The proposed change would apply broadly across state agencies, healthcare systems, and financial institutions, providing a consistent standard for document delivery that prioritizes consumer convenience and comprehension.
