Bill > HB128

This bill, the Legal Notice Savings and Modernization Act, aims to provide for the electronic publication of public notices on a statewide website maintained by the Secretary of State. The bill defines key terms such as "public notice" and "local legislation," and allows county commissions or municipal governing bodies to opt out of the electronic publication requirement if they determine that it would not provide adequate notice to the intended audience. The bill outlines the Secretary of State's responsibilities in developing and maintaining the public notice website, including providing an archives feature and ensuring that notices are searchable. The bill also amends existing laws to allow for the publication of voter registration lists and other notices on the statewide website rather than in print newspapers, while still providing for newspaper publication in certain circumstances.
