Allows public bodies to provide required notices to newspapers distributed online and establishes related publication requirements; establishes rates that newspapers and online news publications may charge for each notice posted online.
S 1672 allows New Jersey public bodies (like city councils, commissions, and boards) to legally post official meeting notices online through newspapers or online news publications, instead of requiring only print notices. It establishes specific rules for which online publications qualify (those designated by the public body as best reaching the local public) and sets maximum rates these publications can charge for posting notices. The bill also requires all official notices to be published in English and maintains existing requirements for posting physical notices and filing with local officials. This changes how public bodies must share meeting information, directly affecting local governments and news organizations that publish official notices.
