OFFICIAL JOURNALS: Provides relative to the official journal of parishes, municipalities, school boards, and other political subdivisions. (gov sig)

SB 146 allows local governments in Louisiana (including parishes, cities, school boards, and other political subdivisions) to use a designated website as their official journal instead of a newspaper. The bill defines strict requirements for these websites, such as being free, publicly accessible without login, including a searchable archive of all official notices for at least one year, and meeting accessibility standards. It also requires that if a newspaper is chosen as the official journal, the newspaper must post all official notices on its website and a collective state website. This replaces outdated requirements for newspaper-only publication and updates penalties for failing to publish official proceedings on time.
