Modifies the process by which public notice is required to be published in charter counties

HB 377 changes how public notices must be published in charter counties (counties with their own governing charters). It allows notices required by law to be published online via the Secretary of State’s website instead of, or in addition to, a newspaper. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to create a searchable, public website page to host all such notices. This directly affects charter counties and the Secretary of State’s office, shifting notice publication from solely print to a digital option with standardized online access. The key change is replacing mandatory newspaper publication with a flexible online alternative.
