Committee gives favorable report to bill allowing some penalty notices by email
Summary
The Ethics and Campaign Finance committee gave a favorable report to HB 16, which Representative Lamb said would allow the Secretary of State to send penalty notices by email when the penalty is smaller than the cost of certified mail; the measure passed by voice vote and will move forward in the process (tallies not specified).
Representative Lamb introduced HB 16 and told the committee it was a straightforward measure to change how the Secretary of State may notify people of penalties. He said the bill would permit the Secretary of State to send penalty notices by email in cases where the penalty amount is less than the cost of certified mail.
The committee moved and seconded a favorable report on the bill. Representative Bolton was recorded as the mover and Representative Port as the seconder in the spoken record; the committee approved the favorable report by voice vote. The transcript does not contain a roll-call tally or numeric vote totals.
The committee did not debate alternative notification methods or record conditions under which an emailed notice might be supplemented by certified mail. No formal amendments or follow-up tasks were announced on the record.
The committee chair closed consideration and the bill will advance with a favorable committee report noted in the hearing record.
