Bill > HB2180

This bill modifies how state agencies, specifically the director of revenue and the executive director of the Missouri ethics commission, send official documents and notices. It allows these directors to use regular first-class mail or electronic methods like email instead of requiring certified or registered mail for many official communications, such as tax assessments or campaign finance violation notices, aiming to streamline processes and potentially reduce costs. However, it clarifies that for certain actions, like tax deficiency notices, the director must still prove the mailing date, and the taxpayer's appeal period begins on that date unless the taxpayer fails to update their address. The bill also updates provisions related to blind pensions, requiring that notices of adverse actions against recipients be sent by certified mail in addition to regular mail, ensuring recipients are properly informed of significant changes to their benefits.
