HB451

Provides relative to notices of hearings required by the ATC commissioner

Complete·6/1/26

Louisiana HB451 allows electronic transmission of notices for hearings by the Alcohol and Tobacco Control commissioner.

Louisiana HB451 amends existing law to allow the Alcohol and Tobacco Control commissioner to issue notices of hearings via electronic transmission. The notice must state the time, place, and cause for the hearing, and be sent at least 10 days before the hearing. Service by electronic means is complete upon transmission unless it is known that the transmission did not reach the address. The law also modifies the timeframe for the notice to be issued and presumes that notices sent by certified mail are received by the applicant or permittee.
