This bill amends the public hearing notice requirements for zoning boards of adjustment by repealing the existing requirement to publish notices in a newspaper of general circulation. Instead, it mandates that notices be posted on the municipality's public website for a minimum of five days prior to the hearing. If a municipality does not have a public website, the notice must be physically posted in at least two public places within the municipality for the same duration. This change aims to streamline the notification process and reduce costs associated with newspaper advertising.

The bill is expected to have a minimal fiscal impact, with local municipalities potentially saving less than $10,000 in advertising costs, particularly benefiting larger municipalities with a higher volume of appeals. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, and any fiscal impacts are anticipated to occur after FY 2026.
