AI Summary

This bill amends the legal advertising requirements for online-only newspapers in Massachusetts. It allows an online-only newspaper that does not have a print publication to satisfy the publication requirement by posting the legal advertisement on its own website and on a statewide website. Additionally, the bill provides that an error in a legal notice published on an online-only newspaper's website or a statewide website, due to an error by the website operator or a temporary website outage, shall not constitute a defect in publication, as long as the legal notice appears correctly on either the online-only newspaper's website or the statewide website and meets all other legal notice requirements.
