An act to amend Section 11104.5 of the Government Code, relating to state agencies.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2675, as introduced, Low. State agencies: electronic transmission of information.

Existing law, with certain exceptions, requires that any requirement that a state agency send specified communications through the United States mail be deemed to include the authority for the state agency to send that communication by electronic mail upon the request of the recipient. Existing law authorizes a state agency to require that direct costs incurred by the agency involving the electronic transmission of information be paid by the requester pursuant to specified provisions of existing law.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
