Expands definition of newspaper for required public advertisements to include those published online.

New Jersey's bill A3680 updates the definition of a "legal newspaper" for public notices to include online publications that meet existing requirements. It allows newspapers published online (in whole or part) to qualify if they are in English, published in New Jersey, have at least 35% news content, and have been continuously published in a municipality for two years. The bill removes the previous requirement that newspapers must be registered as second-class mail with the postal service. This change directly affects state and local governments that publish official notices (like bids or ordinances) and online newspapers seeking to serve as qualified outlets.
