AI Summary

This bill clarifies the requirements for publishing public notices, including revisions to the requirements for publication in the Spanish language. It amends existing laws to specify that public notices must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the notice is required to be published, and that in counties where at least 25% of the population uses a language other than English, the notices must be published in both English and that language, provided there are newspapers available in both languages that meet the legal requirements. The bill also designates specific Spanish-language newspapers as official newspapers for publishing state agency notices in Spanish.
