What changed in the latest version
4 added · 4 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent changes to HB 4098 allow hearings to be conducted more flexibly, specifying that they can be held over the phone, by video conference, or in person, rather than just in person or electronically upon agreement. This matters because it increases accessibility for all parties involved, making it easier for people to participate in hearings without the need to travel, which can be time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the updated language streamlines the process for scheduling in-person hearings at mutually agreed locations.
