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 legal 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 operational rules for the system. 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 various amendments to existing laws to incorporate the use of the centralized electronic notice system for a wide range of legal notifications, including those related to elections, public hearings, and municipal actions. It specifies that notices must be published for defined durations, such as three consecutive weeks or at least once a week for three weeks, depending on the medium used. The bill also appropriates $250,000 from the general fund to support the establishment and maintenance of the electronic notice system, emphasizing the importance of transparency and public access to information. Overall, the bill aims to enhance public engagement and awareness by streamlining communication between government entities and the public through the integration of electronic platforms alongside traditional print media.
