Whenever it is necessary that a copy of the entry of judgment against a defendant be delivered to the Department of Corrections or any other correctional authority of this state, or to the correctional authority of any political subdivision of this state, the court or the sheriff may transmit notice of the judgment by electronic telecommunication. The notice of judgment shall serve as authority for imprisonment under this chapter. The notice need not be a duplicate or photographic copy of judgment, but if it is not a duplicated or photographic copy, then it must be followed in due course by a duplicate or photographic copy with a notation that notice had been sent previously. [1987 c.251 § 2]
