H.B. No. 5534 amends the Local Government Code and the Government Code to allow county clerks to post official and legal notices, including meeting agendas for the commissioners court, electronically rather than solely through physical documents. The bill specifies that electronic displays must comply with existing location, time, and accessibility requirements for notice postings. Additionally, it mandates that county governmental bodies post meeting notices on a bulletin board in the county courthouse and also allows for electronic displays as per the new provisions.

The bill clarifies that the amendments apply only to notices required to be posted on or after the effective date of September 1, 2025, while notices posted before this date will continue to be governed by the previous law. This change aims to modernize the process of posting meeting notices, making it more accessible to the public through electronic means.
