This bill proposes significant updates to current statutes regarding public notices by requiring cities, towns, and counties to fulfill their advertising, publishing, or printing obligations by posting these notices on their official websites. Specifically, it mandates that any public body that posts such notices must include a dedicated link on their homepage that categorizes all statutorily required advertising and publishing. However, the bill exempts the publication of proposed charters from this requirement.
Additionally, the bill repeals the existing statute at section 11-255 and instructs the Legislative Council Staff to draft conforming legislation for the Arizona Revised Statutes in the next legislative session. Overall, these changes aim to modernize the process of public notice dissemination, making it more accessible to the public through digital platforms.
