    1         Senate Amendment 
    2  
    3         Delete lines 1918 - 1936
    4  and insert:
    5  Notwithstanding s. 120.60(5), service of a notice of the
    6  suspension or revocation of a concealed weapon or firearm
    7  license must be given by either certified mail, return receipt
    8  requested, to the licensee at his or her last known mailing
    9  address furnished to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer
   10  Services, or by personal service. If a notice given by certified
   11  mail is returned as undeliverable, a second attempt must be made
   12  to provide notice to the licensee at that address, by either
   13  first-class mail in an envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to
   14  the licensee at his or her last known mailing address furnished
   15  to the department, or, if the licensee has provided an e-mail
   16  address to the department, by e-mail. Such mailing by the
   17  department constitutes notice, and any failure by the licensee
   18  to receive such notice does not stay the effective date or term
   19  of the suspension or revocation. A request for hearing must be
   20  filed with the department within 21 days after notice is
   21  received by personal delivery, or within 26 days after the date
   22  the department deposits the notice in the United States mail (21
   23  days plus 5 days for mailing). The department shall document its
   24  attempts to provide notice and such documentation is admissible
   25  in the courts of this state and constitutes sufficient proof
   26  that notice was given.
