What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, when a county enacts or amends certain zoning ordinances

a county clerk is required to send to town clerks, by registered mail, copies of the

enacted ordinances or amendments.

Also under current law, if a petition to amend a zoning ordinance is made to a

county board and the county is required to notice a public hearing on the proposed

amendment, the county clerk is required to send to affected town clerks, by

registered mail, a copy of the notice.

Under this bill, in general, a county clerk is required to send copies of

ordinances or amendments, or notices (collectively, materials), to town clerks by

certified mail. Also under the bill, a county clerk may send such materials to a town

clerk by electronic mail (e-mail), if the county clerk includes with the e-mail a

request that the town clerk promptly confirm receipt of the e-mail by return e-mail.

If the town clerk does not send the requested e-mail confirmation within five

business days, the county clerk must submit the materials to the town clerk by

certified mail.
