If a change or error in an electronic record occurs in a transmission between parties to a transaction, the following rules apply.   [PL 1999, c. 762, §2 (NEW).]
1.  Security procedure used.
If the parties have agreed to use a security procedure to detect changes or errors and one party has conformed to the procedure but the other party has not and the nonconforming party would have detected the change or error had that party also conformed, the conforming party may avoid the effect of the changed or erroneous electronic record.
[PL 1999, c. 762, §2 (NEW).]
2.  Electronic agent.
In an automated transaction involving an individual, the individual may avoid the effect of an electronic record that resulted from an error made by the individual in dealing with the electronic agent of a person if the electronic agent did not provide an opportunity for the prevention or correction of the error and, at the time the individual learns of the error, the individual:
A. Promptly notifies the other person of the error and that the individual did not intend to be bound by the electronic record received by the other person;   [PL 1999, c. 762, §2 (NEW).]
B.

3.  Other law.

[PL 1999, c. 762, §2 (NEW).]
4.  Variance by agreement.

§9901. Findings
The Legislature finds that in times of emergency in this State, such as during or after a storm, flood, fire, earthquake, hurricane or other disaster, businesses from other states provide assistance by bringing in resources and personnel to assist the State with the often enormous and overwhelming task of cleaning up, restoring and repairing damaged buildings, equipment and property. This provision of assistance may require out-of-state businesses, including out-of-state affiliates of businesses based in the State, to bring in resources, property or personnel that previously have had no connection to the State to perform activities in the State, including, but not limited to, repairing, renovating, installing, building, rendering services and engaging in other business activities, some of which may require that personnel from the businesses be located in the State for extended periods of time.   [PL 2011, c. 622, §1 (NEW).]
The Legislature further finds that, while these businesses are operating in the State providing assistance on a temporary basis solely for the purpose of helping the State recover from the disaster or emergency, these businesses and their employees should not be burdened by requirements for certain business and employee taxes as a result of such temporary activities.   [PL 2011, c. 622, §1 (NEW).]
To ensure that these businesses focus on responding quickly to the needs of the State and its citizens during a declared state disaster or emergency, the Legislature finds that it is appropriate to consider that such activity for a reasonable period of time during and after the disaster or emergency undertaken to repair and restore property and infrastructure in the State does not establish presence or residency in the State or constitute doing business in the State for purposes of subjecting the businesses to certain taxes or licensing and regulatory requirements.   [PL 2011, c. 622, §1 (NEW).]

Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, during a disaster period an out-of-state business that conducts operations within the State for the purpose of performing work or providing services related to a declared state disaster or emergency is deemed to have not established a level of presence that would require that business or its out-of-state employees to be subject to any of the following state or local employment, licensing or registration requirements:
A. Business licensing or registration requirements;   [PL 2011, c. 622, §1 (NEW).]
B. Unemployment insurance taxes or fees or workers' compensation insurance taxes or fees; and   [PL 2011, c. 691, Pt. E, §1 (AMD); PL 2011, c. 691, Pt. E, §2 (AFF).]

2.  Status after disaster period.

(c). From all the facts and circumstances known to the person at the time in question, has reason to know that it exists.   [PL 2009, c. 325, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2009, c. 325, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]

[PL 2009, c. 325, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2009, c. 325, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]

(a). It comes to that person's attention; or   [PL 2009, c. 325, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2009, c. 325, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]
(b). It is duly delivered in a form reasonable under the circumstances at the place of business through which the contract was made or at another location held out by that person as the place for receipt of such communications.   [PL 2009, c. 325, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2009, c. 325, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]

Notice, knowledge or a notice or notification received by an organization is effective for a particular transaction from the time it is brought to the attention of the individual conducting that transaction and, in any event, from the time it would have been brought to the individual's attention if the organization had exercised due diligence. An organization exercises due diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the person conducting the transaction and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Due diligence does not require an individual acting for the organization to communicate information unless the communication is part of the individual's regular duties or the individual has reason to know of the transaction and that the transaction would be materially affected by the information.
