§ 33-2-10. Issuance and service of orders and notices.
Orders and notices of the Commissioner shall be effective only when they are in writing and signed by him or by his authority. Every such order shall state its effective date and shall state concisely: Its intent or purpose; The grounds on which it is based; and The provisions of this title pursuant to which action is taken or proposed to be taken; but failure to designate any provision shall not deprive the Commissioner of the right to rely thereon. An order or notice may be served by delivery to the person to be ordered or notified or by mailing it, postage prepaid, addressed to him at his principal place of business or last address of record in the Commissioner's office. In addition to the service provisions set forth in subsection (c) of this Code section, any order of the Commissioner issued to multiple recipients in the form of a general directive, data call, or bulletin may be served by sending it by email, so that receipt is acknowledged by the recipient, to the email address on record in the Commissioner's office. The Commissioner shall also post such general directive, data call, or bulletin contemporaneously on the department's website. (Code 1933, § 56-217, enacted by Ga. L. 1960, p. 289, § 1; Ga. L. 2004, p. 754, § 1; Ga. L. 2020, p. 493, § 33/SB 429.) The 2020 amendment, effective July 29, 2020, part of an Act to revise, modernize, and correct the Code, substituted "email" for "electronic mail" twice in the first sentence of subsection (d).
