Bill > HB2349

This bill requires the Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs to make certain contact information for newly registered entities, including their name, phone number, email address, and mailing address, available online through the department's public business registration database. However, for phone numbers and email addresses, entities must actively choose to have this information made public. The bill also mandates that unless an entity specifically opts out, this information will be shared with the Business Development and Support Division of the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism, aiming to help small businesses connect with local resources and grow. This change is intended to address the current lack of publicly accessible information about new businesses, which the legislature believes hinders their development.
