The bill amends Section 58 of chapter 207 of the General Laws to update the language regarding advertising for justices of the peace. It changes the pronoun "his" to "their" to make the language gender-neutral. Additionally, it expands the information required in advertisements by including "email address" alongside the existing requirement for a number.

Furthermore, the bill revises the types of media through which justices of the peace can advertise their services. It replaces the phrase "newspaper, magazine, telephone directory or other publication of general circulation" with a broader definition that includes "printed or digital public media," specifying various forms of communication such as websites, social media platforms, and digital video platforms. This update aims to modernize the advertising methods available to justices of the peace, reflecting current communication trends.
