The bill amends section 23-901 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning workers' compensation. It modifies the current law regarding the transmission of documents by allowing electronic transmission to be used for service, provided it is done in a manner reasonably calculated to achieve effective service.
The key change is the removal of the requirement for written consent from the receiving party for electronic transmission and the introduction of an opt-out provision. Under the new bill, the receiving party can opt out of electronic service by providing written notice, streamlining the process for document transmission in workers' compensation cases.
