S 3905 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DCA to establish online, Statewide database of local government unit legal notices.

Senate Bill S 3905 requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to create and maintain a free, statewide online database for local government legal notices. This bill directly affects municipalities, counties, and other local government units by allowing them to submit required legal notices electronically to DCA instead of publishing them in newspapers. The key mechanism enables local governments to fulfill their legal advertising requirements by delivering notices (or links) to DCA for inclusion in the centralized database, which the public can access online. The database will serve as a single public portal for all legally required local government notices, replacing the traditional newspaper publication method for those choosing this option.
