This bill proposes to amend current statutes by allowing cities, towns, and counties to fulfill statutory requirements for advertising, publishing, or printing by posting public notices on their official websites. Specifically, it introduces new sections to Title 9 and Title 11 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which state that a city or town can satisfy these requirements through online postings, and mandates that a public notices link be included on the homepage of their websites, categorizing all required notices.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that this online posting option does not apply to notices of proposed city charters, which must still adhere to existing publication requirements. The changes aim to modernize the process of public notice dissemination, potentially reducing reliance on traditional newspaper publications while ensuring that the public can easily access necessary information online.
