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

This bill expands New Jersey's definition of a "legal newspaper" to include online publications for official public notices. It allows state and local governments to legally publish required notices (like bids or ordinances) in qualified online newspapers, while retaining existing requirements: the publication must be in English, based 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 U.S. Postal Service. This change directly affects municipalities, state agencies, and qualifying online news publishers by broadening acceptable platforms for official public notices.
