Senate Bill 162 amends the requirements for the publication and printing of county board proceedings, notices, and advertisements in counties with a population of 250,000 or more. The current law mandates that the county board must direct the county clerk to invite proposals from English newspapers published daily in the county. The proposed change specifies that this requirement applies only to counties that not only have a population of 250,000 or more but also have at least two English newspapers published daily.

The bill aims to streamline the process for counties by ensuring that the invitation for proposals is limited to those with sufficient daily English newspaper options. This modification is intended to enhance the efficiency of the publication process while maintaining transparency and accessibility of county board proceedings and notices to the public.
