AN ACT AUTHORIZING MUNICIPALITIES TO PUBLISH LEGAL NOTICES ONLINE.

SB 697 permits municipalities (cities and towns) to publish required legal notices - such as public hearings or property sales - on their official websites instead of traditional print methods like newspapers. This bill amends Section 1-2 of the general statutes to authorize this online publication option. It directly affects local governments by providing a flexible, modern method for fulfilling legal notice requirements. The change is procedural and does not require municipalities to switch to online publishing, only allows it as an alternative.
