The bill establishes a centralized electronic notice system to modernize the publication of public and legal notices, allowing governmental entities and individuals to publish these notices online instead of in traditional newspapers. The Secretary of State is responsible for creating and maintaining this system, which will be accessible on the official state website. Notices published on this electronic platform will satisfy existing publication requirements, and the Secretary of State will preserve these notices for a minimum of seven years. The bill also allows for a fee of up to $10 for publishing notices and mandates the development of rules to govern the system's operation. Key provisions include a phased transition to electronic publication for notices related to legal actions, property sales, and other official announcements starting January 1, 2030.

Additionally, the bill amends various existing laws to incorporate the use of the centralized electronic notice system, specifying that notices can be published on this system or in newspapers. It outlines the conditions under which the electronic system can replace traditional newspaper publication, enhancing accessibility and efficiency in legal processes. The bill emphasizes the importance of using both electronic and traditional media to ensure broader public awareness and participation in governmental processes. To support the implementation of this system, the bill appropriates $250,000 from the general fund for its creation and maintenance, with a deadline for establishment set for January 1, 2026.
