AN ACT PERMITTING MUNICIPAL PUBLICATION OF LEGAL NOTICES IN CERTAIN ONLINE NEWS PUBLICATIONS.
HB 6421 would amend state statutes to allow municipalities to publish legally required notices (like public hearings or property sales) in specific online news publications that specialize in a municipality's local area. This directly affects local governments, which currently often rely on print newspapers for such notices, and qualifying online news outlets serving specific communities. The bill's key provision authorizes municipalities to use these regional online platforms as a valid channel for legal notice publication, expanding beyond traditional print methods. This change aims to modernize notice dissemination while ensuring notices reach residents through locally focused digital sources.
