Authorizing legal publications to be made on internet websites selected by the governing body of a city, county or school district.

HB 2191 allows Kansas cities, counties, and school districts to designate specific websites as official platforms for publishing required legal notices, instead of (or in addition to) newspapers. The bill amends Kansas statutes to require that any legal notice published on a designated website must meet the same timing, frequency, and geographic coverage standards as newspaper publications. It specifies that governing bodies must select websites meeting accessibility and circulation criteria, and does not change existing requirements for dual newspaper-and-website publication where currently mandated. This bill directly affects local governments responsible for legal notices and publishers providing these notices.
