| Taxes Generally" is hereby amended to read as follows: |
| 44-7-7. Notice by collector to taxpayer of amount of tax. |

| receive notice of the amount of tax owed via mail in lieu of notice via email or through some other |
| digital or electronic means. |

| hereby repealed, prospectively, to the extent inconsistent with this section. |
| SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon passage. |
