AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE ONLINE PUBLICATION OF MUNICIPAL LEGAL NOTICES.

HB 5191 allows municipalities to publish legal notices (like meeting announcements or public hearings) on their official websites instead of in print newspapers. This directly affects local governments, giving them a new option for fulfilling public notice requirements. The key provision amends statutes to explicitly permit online posting as a valid alternative to newspaper publication. The bill does not change existing notice content or requirements, only the method of distribution.
