Allows online news publication to use municipal, county, or State-wide circulation requirements to meet eligibility standards; extends grace period for qualifying newspapers.

This bill allows online news websites to publish required legal notices in New Jersey, provided they meet specific traffic and accessibility standards. To qualify, a publication must demonstrate a certain number of monthly unique visitors, with at least half of that traffic coming from the specific municipality, county, or the entire state where the notice is posted. The legislation also mandates that these sites remain free to access, keep records of notices for at least one year, and display their traffic statistics clearly to the public. Additionally, the bill extends a grace period for newspapers that were previously eligible to continue meeting these new requirements for online platforms.
