This bill amends R.S. 49:977.3(C) to update the notification process for the administrative revocation, suspension, annulment, or withdrawal of a license. The key change is the addition of the option for agencies to provide notice to licensees not only by mail but also through electronic means as prescribed by the agency. This aims to streamline communication and ensure that licensees are promptly informed of any actions that may affect their licenses.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement that licensees must be given an opportunity to demonstrate compliance with lawful requirements before any revocation or suspension can occur. It also preserves the provision that allows for emergency action if public health, safety, or welfare necessitates immediate suspension, provided that the agency includes a finding to that effect in its order. Overall, the bill seeks to modernize the notification process while ensuring due process for licensees.
