Standardize service of process for professional licenses

HB 276 standardizes how official notices are delivered to individuals holding or applying for professional licenses in Montana. The bill allows for electronic delivery of notices or orders if the licensee or applicant provides consent and a current email address. It also establishes a general requirement for licensees and applicants to update their mailing address with the relevant state department or board within 30 days of any change. Additionally, the bill adjusts the timeframe for requesting a hearing to contest charges from 20 to 21 days, and clarifies accepted methods for serving notices. These changes aim to streamline communication processes for professional licensing boards and their licensees.
