Reduce Costs from Mailing Notices
SECTION 88.
Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the secretary of the executive office of administration and finance shall investigate ways to reduce administrative costs related to providing notice via first class mail to any person entitled to receive such notice pursuant to any general or special law. In conducting said investigation, the secretary shall consider the potential financial benefit to the commonwealth of allowing electronic notification in lieu of requiring notice only via first class mail and shall also consider alternative ways of notifying persons entitled to receive such notice pursuant to any general or special law who lack access to electronic communications equipment. The secretary shall report his findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the clerk of the senate, the clerk of the house of representatives and to the chairs of the house and senate committees on ways and means on or before December 31, 2007.
