Allow taxpayers to elect to receive electronic correspondence from the department of revenue
HB 91 allows Montana taxpayers to choose receiving letters, notices, and other communications from the Department of Revenue electronically instead of by paper. Taxpayers must formally elect this option using a form provided by the department. The bill requires the department to create rules for implementing this electronic option and takes effect immediately upon enactment. This change directly affects all Montana taxpayers who interact with the Department of Revenue for tax matters.

MINOR
The bill text was cleaned up by removing redundant quotation marks and a standard 'END' marker, while the effective date was simplified to apply immediately upon passage and approval. These changes are purely technical and formatting-related, ensuring the document is consistent without altering any laws, rules, or policy outcomes.

Deleted the 'END' marker and blank lines at the conclusion of the document.
