This bill mandates the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Business and Economic Development to conduct an investigation and prepare a report on the effectiveness of state outreach to residents who do not have access to computers, tablets, smartphones, or other electronic devices. The investigation aims to determine if these residents can access important state outreach information, particularly regarding economic and healthcare initiatives. The departments are tasked with estimating the size of this population, reviewing past communication strategies, assessing the results and lessons learned, identifying the financial costs of communication failures, and examining best practices from other states or entities.

The bill outlines specific duties for the investigators, including gathering data from other departments or agencies, and requires a joint report on their findings and recommendations to be submitted to various state officials and the state library by November 1, 2024. The act will become effective immediately upon its passage. There are no insertions or deletions indicated in the provided text, suggesting that it is a new piece of legislation rather than an amendment to existing law.
