(a) The department is entitled to rely on the physical
mailing address, the facsimile number, and the electronic mail address
currently on file for all purposes relating to notification. The failure
to maintain current addresses with the department is not a defense
to any action based on the licensee's, registrant's, or applicant's
failure to respond.
(b) Service of notice is complete and receipt is presumed
upon the date the notice is sent, if sent before 5:00 p.m. by facsimile
transmission or electronic mail, or three (3) days following the date
sent, if notice is sent by regular United States mail or certified
mail, return receipt requested.
(c) Unless otherwise specified by the Act, notifications
by the department may be by facsimile transmission, electronic mail,
regular U.S. mail, certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand-delivery.
