An Act authorizing the city of Watertown to publish digital legal notices

HD 1039 allows Watertown city officials to publish legal notices digitally instead of solely in print newspapers. It permits using methods like newspaper websites, approved local news sites, a statewide digital repository, or Watertown's own website, in addition to traditional print. The city manager must select at least two digital or print methods for most departments, while the School Committee chooses its own two methods via majority vote. This bill updates Watertown's legal notice requirements to include modern digital platforms, effective upon passage.
