Counties and cities; authorize publication of notice with county or city website or social media.
HB 1511 allows Mississippi counties and municipalities to publish certain official notices on their websites or social media instead of in newspapers, modernizing notice requirements. It specifically amends multiple statutes to permit digital publication for most notices (like bond resolutions and contracts), while maintaining the newspaper requirement only for tax levy notices. The bill requires local governments to use their official website or social media if they have one, but still mandates newspaper publication for tax-related notices. This change aims to reduce costs and improve accessibility for public notices.
