Bill Summary

This bill provides businesses required to comply with any business registration requirement of the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Service in the Department of the Treasury or any successor agency the option to register for a computer-based service administered or made available by the division for the purpose of receiving official and authoritative notifications electronically from State agencies capable of sending the notifications. The service is to be linked with the division's online business filing services and is to collect and store electronic mail addresses and other contact information. "Business" is defined in the bill to mean an individual, partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, corporation, non-profit corporation, or other legal business entity or successor thereof that files business registration documents with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services in the Department of the Treasury, but does not include a government agency. A business that accepts electronic notification under the bill will no longer receive paper versions of official and authoritative notifications from the agencies receiving contact information from the division but is to maintain postal mailing addresses in accordance with other statutory requirements. Nothing in the bill is to be construed to supersede or modify any statutory requirement that a notice be sent by postal mail or certified mail, where that method is expressly required by law. The Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services is to provide the electronic addresses and other contact information to other certain State agencies that send official and authoritative notices to allow for the implementation of the provisions of the bill. The business is authorized to request to the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services a cessation of electronic notification. If that request is made, the division is to notify the other State agencies of the request.

AI Summary

This bill allows businesses that are registered with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services (DORES) in the Department of the Treasury to opt-in to a new electronic notification system. This system, administered by DORES and linked to their online business filing services, will allow businesses to receive official and authoritative notifications, such as information about new regulations, tax requirements, and economic incentives, directly via email from various state agencies. By signing up for this electronic service, businesses will no longer receive paper versions of these notifications from participating agencies, though they must still maintain a postal mailing address for other legal purposes, and this electronic option does not override any existing legal requirements for notices to be sent by postal or certified mail. Businesses can also request to stop receiving electronic notifications at any time, at which point the state agencies will resume sending paper communications. The bill defines "business" broadly to include most legal entities that file registration documents with DORES, excluding government agencies, and defines "official and authoritative notification" as crucial information for business compliance and economic opportunities.
