                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS 12682
This legislation clarifies the law as it relates to electronic
alternatives to certified mail.  This law provides that, in those
cases where transmission by certified mail is required, the
record may be transmitted electronically with the consent of the
recipient.
This legislation results from the work of the Electronic Commerce
Interim Committee.  At the request of the Committee in 2002, the
Attorney General's office performed a review of Idaho statutes
dealing with E-Commerce to make sure Idaho law is current with
the changes taking place in this rapidly changing industry.  This
legislation is a result of their evaluations.
                          FISCAL IMPACT
It will allow efficiencies.  However, fiscal impact of the
efficiencies cannot be quantified.
