AI Summary
This bill amends the General Construction Law to broaden the definition of "newspaper" to include the legal notice section maintained on a newspaper's website, in addition to its physical publication. This means that any legal notice or fact required by law to be published in a newspaper can now be published in the online legal notice section of that newspaper, and still be deemed sufficient. The bill aims to update the law to accommodate the increasing shift towards digital media for publishing legal notices.
