An Act relative to publication of notice by municipalities

This bill requires the Secretary of the Commonwealth to create and maintain a free, public website where municipalities can publish legal notices required by state law. It expands the definition of valid publication to include posting notices on this statewide site, alongside existing options like local newspapers or municipal websites. The legislation mandates that notices posted on the new platform must be available for public viewing and searching at no cost. Additionally, the bill clarifies that posting on the statewide website satisfies the legal requirement for publication, ensuring consistency across different methods of notice delivery.
