Fair Campaign Practices Act; authorize notifications of civil penalties by electronic mail in lieu of certified mail in certain circumstances

HB 310 amends the Fair Campaign Practices Act regarding how the Secretary of State notifies individuals and committees of civil penalties. Currently, the Secretary of State must use certified mail for all such notifications. This bill would authorize the Secretary of State to provide notification of imposed civil penalties by electronic mail. Certified mail would only be additionally required if the amount of the imposed penalty exceeds the cost of sending the certified mail.
