Bill > H0090

This bill amends existing Idaho law to revise provisions regarding the electronic publication of legal notices. It allows legal notices required by state law to be published electronically by newspapers, in addition to the required newspaper publication. The electronic publication has the same legal effect as print publication. The bill defines "electronically published" and "messaging" and outlines the specific provisions for electronic publication, including allowing it to be done either by individual newspapers or on a public legal notice website established by Idaho newspapers. It also provides that governmental entities are not liable for failing to meet publication deadlines if the newspaper fails to correctly publish the notice, as long as the entity has properly submitted the notice and met statutory requirements.
