Providing for official legal publications on a county website for counties with a population of 100,000 or more.

HB 2699 allows counties in Kansas with a population of 100,000 or more to publish official legal notices and publications on a publicly accessible county website instead of a newspaper. The bill amends Kansas law to require such websites to be free for public access, not password-protected or paywalled, and to display publication dates for all notices. This change directly affects large counties (100,000+ population) that currently rely on designated newspapers for legal notices. The bill replaces the existing newspaper requirement with this digital alternative while maintaining the same standards for public access and notice transparency.
