County website; allow counties without local newspapers to publish certain notices on.
SB 2251 allows counties in Mississippi without a local newspaper to publish certain official notices (like bond resolutions) on their official county website instead of in print. For notices requiring 21 days of public posting, counties without a newspaper can post them online for the same duration. The bill requires counties to ensure online notices are secure, verifiable, and publicly accessible. This change applies to specific notice requirements in sections of Mississippi law governing county bond issuances and resolutions.
