S 3957 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows public bodies to continue using newspapers for required public notices and legal advertisements until certain specified date regardless of format.

This bill extends the eligibility of newspapers for public notice requirements in New Jersey. It allows public bodies (like local governments and school districts) that used designated newspapers for official notices during 2024 to continue using those same newspapers - whether physical or digital - through March 1, 2025. The change applies only to newspapers already approved for this purpose in 2024, ensuring continuity without requiring new designations.
