The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6532, seeks to amend section 1-2 of the general statutes to allow municipalities the option to publish legal notices on their official Internet websites and in online local newspapers instead of the traditional requirement of publishing these notices in print newspapers. This change aims to modernize the way legal notices are disseminated, making them more accessible to the public in the digital age.
The bill introduces new legal language that permits this alternative method of publication, effectively replacing the existing requirement for print publication. By doing so, it seeks to streamline the process for municipalities and potentially reduce costs associated with traditional newspaper advertising. The overall intent is to enhance transparency and accessibility of legal notices for residents.
