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 platform will satisfy existing publication requirements, and the Secretary of State will retain these notices for at least seven years. The bill also introduces a fee of up to $10 for publishing notices and mandates the development of operational rules. Starting January 1, 2030, all public and legal notices currently required to be published in newspapers will need to be published on this electronic system.

Additionally, the bill includes several amendments to existing laws, allowing for the substitution of electronic publication for traditional newspaper publication in various contexts, such as legal proceedings and property sales. It specifies that notices must be published for defined durations, either on the electronic notice system or in newspapers, depending on the context. The bill also clarifies voting rights for individuals who have paid predator fees and outlines procedures for notifying the public about various governmental actions. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency, accessibility, and efficiency in the notification process, ensuring that the public is adequately informed about important governmental activities.
