Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding service of notice of hearings.
WORKER'S COMPENSATION -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding service of notice of hearings.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
A Notice of Hearing is required to be sent by certified mail under Idaho Code 72-713, making it the only pleadings statutorily required to be served by the Industrial Commission in this manner. This legislation retains the requirement that the Commission give at least ten days written notice of hearing to the parties but eliminates the requirement that such notice must be served on the parties by certified mail. The amendment would allow for service of a Notice of Hearing to be made by regular mail, fax, or by email for represented parties. Self-represented claimants, also known as pro se claimants, will still receive notices by certified mail unless they choose to opt into electronic delivery.
