STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30807 / S1238
A Notice of Hearing is required to be sent by certified mail under Idaho Code 72-713, making it the only
pleadings statutorily required to be served by the Commission in this manner.
This legislation retains the requirement that the Commission give at least ten days written notice of hearing
to the parties but eliminates the requirement that such notice must be served on the parties by certified mail.
The amendment would allow for service of a Notice of Hearing to be made by regular mail, or by email.
Pro se litigants are allowed to file and receive pleadings by email, regular mail, personal service or Facsimile
transmission.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will have no impact on the state’s General fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund because
this change will result in a de minimus savings in dedicated fund monies.
