Section 11-453-4 - Electronic business(a) The intent of this section is to authorize and promote the development of electronic business by the commission and the committees, and the section shall be interpreted broadly.(b) The commission and committees may each separately or jointly authorize the submission of reports, notifications, and payments electronically, when and under those conditions that the commission or committee considers appropriate. The commission may specify whether the electronic notification or report may replace or supplements the existing paper notices or reports. The commission and committees will provide notice to public of the availability and use of electronic business methods to satisfy reporting or other requirements under this chapter.(c) The commission and committees may each separately or jointly authorize the submission of a single electronic report or notification to meet multiple reporting or notification requirements by different jurisdictions, when and under those conditions that the commission or committee considers appropriate.

[Comment: For example, the commission, committees, and department may implement and update automated information exchange systems for hazardous chemical inventory reporting as discussed in section 11-453-27(c) and toxic chemical release reporting and information exchanges described under subchapter 7.]
