Requires DCA to establish certain Internet websites for local government unit legal notices; appropriates $100,000.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to create and maintain a free online website for each county, allowing local governments (like cities, towns, and counties) to post legal notices that would otherwise need newspaper publication. Local governments can submit these notices electronically via the county websites instead of using print newspapers, with no fees for submission or access. The bill appropriates $100,000 from the state General Fund to develop and maintain these websites. It directly affects all local government units required to publish legal notices under current law.
