Bill summary
Enacts new GS 143-162.6 (applying to executive branch state agencies but not judicial or legislative branches of State government), GS 153A-461 (applicable to county agencies), and GS 160A-499.6 (applicable to city agencies), providing as follows.
Requires each agency set forth above, by July 1, 2023, to establish a policy to send any permits issued by the agency to permittees using one of the following methods instead of requiring the permittee to receive in-person delivery at an agency office: (1) via United States mail (may charge mailing costs to the permittee) or (2) by email, as appropriate, if the permittee consents to email delivery in advance. Allows a permittee to opt to receive a permit in person.
Emphasizes that the new laws should not be construed to prohibit an agency from adopting policies to exercise due diligence in verifying a permittee’s identity.
