An act to add Section 22 to the Unemployment Insurance Code, relating to unemployment insurance.

AI Summary

This bill updates the definition of "mail," "mailing," or "mailed" in the California Unemployment Insurance Code to include not just traditional postal mail, but also electronic transmissions sent through the United States Postal Service, other common mail carriers, or electronic means. Specifically, the bill adds a provision that when a document is transmitted electronically, the "postmark date" will be considered the date the writing was sent. This change modernizes the code's language to reflect current communication technologies, ensuring that electronic communications are treated equivalently to physical mail for the purposes of unemployment insurance documentation and processes. The bill aims to provide clarity and flexibility in how communications can be sent and received under the Unemployment Insurance Code, potentially making interactions with unemployment insurance systems more convenient for both recipients and administrators.
