S.F. 2184 Section 1. Section 20.24, Code 2014, is amended to read as 1 follows: 2 20.24 Notice and service —— electronic filing system . 3 Any The board shall by rule establish an electronic filing 4 system for the filing or service of any notice or other 5 document required under the provisions of this chapter shall 6 be in writing, but service thereof shall be sufficient if 7 mailed by restricted certified mail, return receipt requested, 8 addressed to the last known address of the intended recipient, 9 unless or permitted by law to be filed with or served on or 10 filed or served by the board. Unless otherwise provided in 11 this chapter by law, the board may by rule require the filing 12 or service of such notice or other document through the system, 13 notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 17A concerning 14 service or filing by mail . Refusal of restricted certified 15 mail by any party shall be considered service. Any notice 16 or other document not required by rule to be filed or served 17 through the system shall be filed or served in accordance with 18 chapter 17A. Unless otherwise provided in this chapter by law , 19 prescribed time periods shall commence from the date of the 20 receipt of the notice filing or service through the system . 21 Any party may at any time execute and deliver an acceptance of 22 service in lieu of mailed notice. 23 EXPLANATION 24 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 25 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 26 This bill requires the public employment relations board to 27 establish by rule an electronic filing system for the filing or 28 service of any notice or other document required or permitted 29 by law to be filed with or served on or filed or served by 30 the board. The bill permits the board to require by rule, 31 unless otherwise provided by law, the filing or service of such 32 notice or other document through the system, notwithstanding 33 the provisions of the Iowa administrative procedure Act, Code 34 chapter 17A, concerning service or filing by mail. The bill 35 -1- LSB 5178SV (1) 85 je/rj 1/ 2
S.F. 2184 specifies that any notice or other document not required by 1 rule to be filed or served through the system shall be filed or 2 served in accordance with Code chapter 17A. The bill provides 3 that prescribed time periods commence from the date of the 4 filing or service through the system, unless otherwise provided 5 by law. The bill strikes language in Code chapter 20, the 6 public employment relations Act, establishing service of notice 7 by mail as sufficient service of notice. 8 -2- LSB 5178SV (1) 85 je/rj 2/ 2
