This bill proposes updates to current statutes regarding the process of electronic transmission in the context of workers' compensation. Under the current law, electronic transmission is permitted with the written consent of the receiving party. The bill seeks to amend this by allowing electronic transmission in a manner that is reasonably calculated to achieve effective notice, unless the receiving party opts out by providing written notice to the other party.

The changes aim to streamline communication processes in workers' compensation cases, ensuring that parties can receive important notifications effectively while also providing an option for individuals to opt out of electronic communication if they prefer. This update reflects a shift towards more flexible and efficient communication methods in legal contexts.
