This bill sets forth a legislative policy that state agencies should implement changes in the rule-making process to make greater use of emerging technologies for the exchange of information, such as providing notice and seeking comments through the Internet and other on-line services. A new subdivision 2 is added to S201 of the State Administrative Procedure Act (SAPA) which provides that agencies shall maximize their use of such technologies as appropriate, and shall include information on such efforts in their annual reports. SAPA S202(6-a) (b) and (c) are amended to allow agencies to send rule-making information by electronic mail to persons requesting notice in this format. SAPA SS202-b and 202-bb are amended to allow agencies to provide copies of regulatory flexibility analyses and rural area flexibility analyses via electronic mail to small businesses and affected parties in rural areas, respectively, and to allow dissemination of such information to on-line bulletin boards through the Internet or similar networks. Also, the following provisions of SAPA are amended to include within the "contact person" listings in state agency rule-making notices the fax number and electronic mail address, if available, of the agency contact for a particular rule-making: S202(1) (d) (viii), S202(4-a) (c) (vii), S202 (5) (c) (viii), and S202 (6) (d) (x).
