Editor's Note

Former Section 42-1-340 was entitled "Effective date of and manner of giving notice of non-acceptance or waiver" and was derived from 1962 Code Section 72-105; 1952 Code Section 72-105; 1942 Code Section 7035-5; 1936 (39) 1231 .

Prior to repeal, Section 42-1-340 read as follows:

"The notices referred to in Sections 42-1-310 and 42-1-330 shall not be effective as to any accident resulting in injury or death that occurs within thirty days after the giving of any such notice; provided, that if any such accident occurs less than thirty days after the date of employment, notice of such exemption given at the time of employment shall be effective as to such accident. Any such notice shall be in writing or print, in substantially the form prescribed by the Commission, and shall be given by the employer by posting it in a conspicuous place in the shop, plant, office, room or place in which the employee is employed or by serving it personally upon him and shall be given by the employee by sending it in registered letter, addressed to the employer at his last-known residence or place of business, or by giving it personally to the employer or any of his agents upon whom summons in a civil action may be served under the laws of the State.

"A copy of the notice in the prescribed form shall be filed with the Commission. In any suit by an employer or an employee who has exempted himself by proper notice from the application of this Title a copy of such notice duly certified by the Commission shall be admissible in evidence as proof of such exemption."
