Current law requires a county or municipality to publish legal notices in a physical print newspaper. The bill
gives a county or municipality discretion to publish legal notices online on the newspaper's website instead.
requires a newspaper to also publish these notices online, either on its own website or by providing a link to the notice to a location where the full text of the notice is available, such as the statewide public notice website.
Legal notices published online must be free to access and cannot be kept behind a paywall or subscription.
