Relates to modernizing and increasing the transparency of local government notice procedures
This bill allows local governments to post legal notices on their official websites instead of publishing them in newspapers. To use this option, a municipality must first pass a local law authorizing online notifications and then display clear public notices both physically within the community and prominently on its website. The online notices must remain visible for the same duration that state or local laws require for newspaper publication. This change aims to modernize how local governments share official information while maintaining transparency through required public awareness measures.
