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 through digital platforms.
The bill reflects a shift in legal communication methods, recognizing the growing importance of online resources in reaching constituents. By permitting this alternative publication method, the bill intends to enhance transparency and efficiency in municipal communications while potentially reducing costs associated with traditional newspaper advertising.
