Assembly Bill 152 amends the existing law regarding the bid requirements for the publication and printing of county board proceedings, notices, and advertisements in counties with a population of 250,000 or more. The bill specifies that only those counties that not only have a population of 250,000 or more but also have at least two English newspapers published daily are required to direct the county clerk to invite proposals for these publications. This change aims to clarify the conditions under which counties must seek bids for publishing their official notices.
The specific legal language amended in the bill includes the insertion of the phrase "and that have at least 2 English newspapers published daily" into the statute. This addition refines the criteria for counties subject to the publication requirements, ensuring that the obligation to invite proposals is limited to those with sufficient daily English-language newspaper options.
