Relating to providing certain local government notices and other information to persons by electronic means

28A provides that if the local assessor is required or authorized to send any assessment, notice, or any other information to persons by regular mail, the assessor may instead provide the assessment, notice, or other information by electronic means if the person entitled to receive the assessment, notice, or information has by electronic or other means authorized the assessor to provide the assessment, notice, or other information in that manner. This bill requires the assessor to provide any assessment, notice, or other information to the taxpayer by electronic means if the taxpayer has filed such an authorization. The bill provides that if a county is required or authorized by law to publish a notice or any other information regarding the county’s budget or a property tax levy imposed by the county, the county shall also provide the notice or information by electronic means to all persons who have authorized the receipt of such items under the bill. Electronic means includes delivery to an electronic mail address or by other electronic means reasonably calculated to apprise the person of the information that is being provided, as designated by the authorizing person. An authorization to receive notices or other information by electronic means under the bill shall continue until revoked in writing by the person.
