This bill mandates the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to create and maintain an Internet website for each county in New Jersey, aimed at facilitating the electronic publication of legal notices by local government units. These websites will serve as portals for local government units to post legal notices that are typically required to be advertised in newspapers. The DCA will allow these units to submit their legal notices without any charge or fee, and will also provide links to the published notices on the respective county websites.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that local government units, or their officers and employees, can fulfill their legal obligation to publish notices in newspapers by submitting them to the DCA for electronic publication on the county websites. To support this initiative, the bill appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund to the DCA for the development and maintenance of these county websites. The act is set to take effect three months after its enactment, although the Commissioner of Community Affairs may take necessary administrative actions beforehand.
