This bill allows the town of Plymouth and its associated entities, such as public schools and various committees, to fulfill legal notice publication requirements through alternative means rather than solely in print newspapers. Specifically, it permits the use of a print newspaper, an online news site, a townwide website, or a statewide website as acceptable platforms for publishing legal notices. This change is made notwithstanding existing laws that may require publication in a newspaper of general circulation.

Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not alter the timing or deadlines for the publication of these legal notices as established in the General Laws. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
