    "Sec. 11.  RCW 42.17.420 and 1995 c 397 s 18 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, when any application, report, statement, notice, or payment required to be made under the provisions of this chapter has been deposited postpaid in the United States mail properly addressed, it shall be deemed to have been received on the date of mailing.  It shall be presumed that the date shown by the post office cancellation mark on the envelope is the date of mailing.  The provisions of this section do not apply to reports required to be delivered under RCW 42.17.105 and 42.17.175.

    (2) When a report is filed electronically with the commission, it is deemed to have been received on the file transfer date.  The commission shall notify the filer of receipt of the electronically filed report.  Such notification may be sent by mail, facsimile, or electronic mail.  If the notification of receipt of the electronically filed report is not received by the filer, the filer may offer his or her own proof of sending the report, and such proof shall be treated as if it were a receipt sent by the commission.  Electronic filing may be used for purposes of filing the special reports required to be delivered under RCW 42.17.105 and 42.17.175."

    Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
