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 notices. Additionally, the bill exempts the publication of proposed charters from this online posting requirement.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for the Legislative Council Staff to draft conforming legislation to align the Arizona Revised Statutes with these new requirements. It also repeals an existing statute, section 11-255, which may be rendered obsolete by these changes. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the process of public notice dissemination, enhancing accessibility while reducing reliance on traditional print media.
