Local governments; allow local governments and schools to publish notices on their websites in addition to newspapers.

SB 2836 would allow Mississippi counties, municipalities, and schools to publish official government notices (such as bond resolutions and public sale announcements) on their websites or social media instead of solely in newspapers. The bill amends multiple state laws to replace newspaper publication requirements with digital alternatives, including posting notices on official websites or social media pages. This change applies specifically to notices required under sections like bond resolutions (Section 17-5-1) and bond sale notices (Section 17-5-7). The policy aims to modernize notice procedures for greater accessibility and efficiency while maintaining transparency for local government operations.
