§ 12220 Member Notice Delivery Rules

This law says that if a company sends important papers (like notices or reports) as part of a newsletter or magazine to its members, it counts as official notice. It can be mailed or handed directly to the member.

Key Takeaways

  • •Important notices can be sent in newsletters or magazines.
  • •The notice can be mailed or handed directly to the member.
  • •If family members live together, one notice sent to their home address is enough.

Example

A club sends a monthly newsletter to all its members.

If the club includes a notice about a meeting or a rule change in that newsletter and mails it to members, that counts as an official notice. Even if a whole family is part of the club and lives together, sending one newsletter to their home address is enough.
