An Act allowing "print-free" digital legal notices for the town of Lincoln
This bill allows the Town of Lincoln and its associated schools to publish required legal notices digitally instead of in print newspapers. It provides five specific options for posting these notices, including local news websites, statewide repositories, or a town-wide site, while still permitting traditional newspaper publication. The legislation does not mandate digital use; rather, it gives local officials the choice to adopt online methods if they vote to do so. Additionally, the act ensures that the timing and deadlines for publishing these notices remain unchanged by state law.
