Bill Analysis
SB 1116 would amend Government Code to allow a court, justice, judge, magistrate, or clerk to send any notice or
document using mail or electronic mail to an email address registered
with the state electronic filing system or one provided by the person, instead of being restricted to non-electronic mail only.
Vote Recommendation Notes
The principle of limited government is bolstered by legislation that
causes government processes to be more efficient. SB 1116 would achieve
this goal by allowing updated delivery methods that are now common to
society.
