This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to allow county commissions to post legal advertisements on their official websites instead of publishing them in local newspapers. The new provision, effective July 1, 2026, enables county commissions to utilize their websites as a platform for legal ads, which is intended to enhance accessibility and reduce costs associated with traditional newspaper publications.

In addition to this new provision, the bill maintains existing requirements for county commissions to provide and update information on their websites, including details about elected officials, ordinances, meeting minutes, and contact information. The legislation aims to modernize the way county commissions communicate with the public and ensure that essential information is readily available online.
