This bill allows municipalities to post public notice for zoning board of adjustment hearings on the town website, if available, instead of in a newspaper publication. Currently, notice of the hearing must be placed in a newspaper of general circulation in the area at least 5 days before the hearing. The bill adds a new provision that allows municipalities to post the notice on the municipality's internet website instead of in a newspaper. The notice must be posted at least 5 days before the hearing and must appear prominently on the website's homepage or have a direct link to the notice on the homepage. The notice must remain on the website until the conclusion of the hearing. This change would take effect on January 1, 2025.
