(a) Whenever the bureau is authorized or required to give notice under this chapter or any other law regulating the operation of vehicles, unless a different method of giving notice is otherwise expressly prescribed, the notice may be given by personal delivery to the person to be notified, by deposit with the United States Postal Service of the notice by first class mail, or sent electronically if the person has indicated a preference for receiving notices from the bureau electronically.

2. (b) A person who, after notification, fails to return or surrender to the bureau upon demand a suspended, revoked, or invalidated driver's license, permit, certificate of registration, or license plate commits a Class C misdemeanor.
